Installation Instructions

To prevent damage to the optical receiver, ensure that at least 1 dB of attenuation exists
between the transmit and receive ports.

10GBASE-ZR/ZW SFP+ specifications
The following table lists the transmit and receive specifications for the 10GBASE-ZR/ZW SFP+
transceiver. The part number of this SFP+ transceiver is AA1403016-E6.
Note:
VSP 7254XSQ has a PHYless design which is typical for Data Center Top of Rack switches.
The benefits of a PHYless design are lower power consumption and lower latency. However,
