• 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.
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.
