Small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceivers

SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable input and output enhancement components that allow 10

gigabit connections. All Avaya SFP+ transceivers use Lucent connectors (LC) to provide precision

keying and low interface losses.

The following table lists and describes the Avaya SFP+ models.
