SFP and SFP+ Ports for Fiber Connectivity
To enable fiber connections on the switch, SFP and SFP+ fiber ports accommodate standard small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converters (GBICs, also referred to as transceiver modules). GBICs are
sold separately from the switch.
The switch supports the NETGEAR SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules that are listed in the following table.

If you use a third-party passive direct-attach cable (DAC), the length of the cable must
not exceed 16.4 feet (5 meters).
Note
USB Port
The switch provides one USB 2.0 port that lets you upload firmware, upload or download (back up) the
configuration settings file, and download a memory dump (for debugging purposes) using a USB storage
device.
The USB storage device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:
• The USB device must support USB 2.0.
• The USB device must support the FAT32 or VFAT file type.The NTFS file type is not supported.
