Table 1-25: SFP Optical Module Attributes
If you choose to use copper SFP transceiver in SFP port, you should use crossover
or straight-through cable (i.e. standard Ethernet cable). Table 1-16 describes the
attributes of copper SFP transceiver.

Table 1-26: SFP Copper Module Attributes
Cautions:
The SFP electric modules of all platforms only support 1000Mbps.
Before switching between the optical and copper cable connection on
Combo ports, you need to first clear the rate and duplex mode
configurations in the current operating mode (copper or optical), and re-
configure the port after the switching.
XFP Port
Hillstone multi-core security appliances support XFP ports which use XFP optical
modules.
