• 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 for 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) Ethernet connections over optical fiber.
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 for more information about SFP+ transceivers or cables for your
application.
Job aid
SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable I/O interface devices that allow 10 Gigabit connections.
All Avaya SFP+ transceivers use LC connectors to provide precision keying and low interface
losses.
Important:
Avaya recommends the use of Avaya branded SFP+ transceivers as they have been through
