Release VSP 4000 model Description Part number
• Two 1/10G SFP+ ports with MACsec
capable PHY
• One (of two) field-replaceable 1000W
PSUs supplied with the chassis
Note:
Replace the “x”
with a country-
specific power
cord code. See
the footnote for
details.
Note: The character (x) in the order number indicates the power cord code. Replace the “x” with the proper
letter to indicate the desired product nationalization. See the following for details:
“A”: No power cord included.
“B”: Includes European “Schuko” power cord common in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, The
Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
“C”: Includes power cord commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
“D”: Includes power cord commonly used in Japan.
“E”: Includes North American power cord.
“F”: Includes Australian power cord.
Supported optical devices
Use optical devices to achieve high-bit-rate communications and long transmission distances.
Important:
Avaya recommends using Avaya-branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers as they have been
through extensive qualification and testing. Avaya is not responsible for issues related to non-
Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers
SFPs are hot-swappable input and output enhancement components designed to allow gigabit
Ethernet ports to link with other gigabit Ethernet ports over various media types.
You can use various SFP (1 Gbps) and SFP+ (10 Gbps) to attain different line rates and reaches.
The following table describes the SFPs including the reach provided by various SFPs.
Important:
The attainable cable length can vary depending on the quality of the fiber-optic cable used.
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.
