Overview of SFP Modules
Extreme Networks switches support small form factor pluggable (SFP) interface modules, also known
as mini-GBICs. Extreme Networks switches support both optical and copper SFP modules. The types of
switches and the I/O modules determine the compatible type of SFP module.
Use only Extreme Networks-certified SFP modules, available from Extreme Networks, in the SFP port
on the switch or I/O module.
Types of Optical SFP Interfaces
Extreme Networks switches support the following types of optical SFP interfaces:
● SX SFP module (see page 10)
