Installation Instructions

• Avaya recommends the use of Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers as they have
been through extensive qualification and testing. Avaya will not be responsible for issues
related to non-Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
Selecting an SFP+
Use an SFP+ transceiver to interface a port to a fiber optic cable.
About this task
Select the appropriate transceiver to provide the required reach. Depending on the product, you can
obtain SFP+ transceivers for cable distances of up to 15 meters (m), 400 m, 10 kilometers (km), 40
km, and 70 km. Alternatively, you can use a direct attach cable (10GBASE-CX) to connect ports for
cable distances of up to 15 meters.
Procedure
1. Determine the required reach.
2. Determine wavelength restrictions or requirements.
3. Use the following job aid to determine the appropriate SFP+ transceiver or cable for your
application.
Job aid
SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable input and output interface devices that allow 10–gigabit
connections.
All Avaya SFP+ transceivers use LC connectors to provide precision keying and low interface
losses.
The following table lists and describes the Avaya SFP+ models.
