Small form-factor pluggable transceiver modules
The NS-series Sensors use two types of small form-factor pluggable transceiver modules as shown in the following table. For
more information, see the section NS-series Transceiver Modules in Trellix Intrusion Prevention System NS-series Reference Guide.
Type Performance
SFP 1 Gbps (copper)
1 Gbps (ber optic)
SFP+ 10 Gbps (ber optic)
Each module is an input/output device that plugs into an LC-type Gigabit Ethernet port, linking the module port with a copper or
ber-optic network. SFP optical interfaces are less than half the size of GBIC interfaces.
To ensure compatibility, Trellix supports only those SFP, SFP+, QSFP+ and QSFP28 modules purchased through Trellix
or from a Trellix-approved vendor. For a list of approved vendors, locate the relevant KnowledgeBase article at https://
supportm.trellix.com. Enter the relevant KnowledgeBase article in Search the Support Knowledge Center and click Search to
locate the article.
These installation instructions provide information for installing SFP and SFP+ modules that use a bail clasp for securing the
module in place in the Sensor. Your module might be slightly dierent. Check the module manufacturer's installation instructions
for more details. For ease of installation, insert the module in the Sensor while it is turned o and before placing it on a rack.
To prevent eye damage, do not stare into open laser apertures.

SFP transceiver modules
An SFP module is a protocol-independant, compact, optical receiver, which allows for greater port density than the standard
GBIC. This module operates at varying speeds for up to 1 gigabit per second on SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet and
other applications. An SFP module operates in multimode. Additionally, this module transmits on a 850-nanometer wavelength
on short reach (SR) and 1310-nanometer long reach (LR).
