SFP+ specifications
This section provides technical specifications for the supported 10-gigabit Ethernet SFP+ models.
Use these specifications to aid in network design.
The specifications in this section are a subset of the IEEE standard 802.3–2012 specifications. For
more information, see the associated IEEE 802.3 standards document. All Avaya SFP+ transceivers
meet or exceed these standards.
The Avaya VSP 4000 supports SFP+ transceivers on fiber ports 49 and 50.
Important:
Avaya recommends that you only use Avaya qualified transceivers. If you do choose to use
other vendor transceivers, Avaya does not support them.
All Avaya SFP+ transceivers support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM).
SFP+ labels
The typical Avaya SFP+ transceiver has a label on the top and bottom or side of the transceiver.
The following figures show example labels. Avaya does use alternate labels, depending on the size
of the device and space available for label information. Some devices do not have a CLEI code or
label.
