Caution
1. Never push the converter into the slot with force; it
could damage the chassis.
2. The Smart Media Converter Chassis supports hot-swap;
there is no need to turn off the whole chassis before
sliding in the new converter.
5.4 Cable Connection
 Installing the SFP+ Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+
slot.
The SFP+ transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can
plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP+ port without having to
power down the Smart Media Converter.

Transceiver
Figure 5-1: Plug in the SFP+ Transceiver
Note
It is recommended to use PLANET SFP+s on the Smart
Media Converter. If you insert an SFP+ transceiver that
is not supported, the Smart Media Converter will not
recognize it.
10GBASE-X SR/LR:
Before connecting the other switches, workstation or Smart Media
Converter, please do the following:
1. Make sure both sides of the SFP+ transceiver are with the same
media type; for example, 10GBASE-SR to 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR
to 10GBASE-LR.
2. Check whether the ber-optic cable type matches the SFP+ trans-
ceiver model.
 To connect to 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, use the multi-mode
ber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
 To connect to 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver, use the single-mode
ber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
Connecting the ber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector of the network cable to the SFP+
transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device like a switch with
SFP+ installed, ber NIC on a workstation or a Smart Media
Converter.
 Removing the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with
the network administrator. Or through the management interface of
the switch/converter (if available), disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the ber optic cable gently.
3. Turn the lever of the MTB module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.

Figure 5-2: Pulling Out the Transceiver from the Slot
Note
Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or the
push bolts on the module. Directly pulling out the module
with effort could damage the module and SFP+ module
slot of the Smart Media Converter.
10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T
The 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T port comes with auto-negotiation
capability. It automatically supports 100BASE-TX, 1GBASE-T,
2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T networks. Users only need to
plug a working network device into the 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T
port, and then turn on the Smart Media Converter. The port will
automatically run at 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, 2500Mbps or 5000Mbps and
10000Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device.
Connecting the UTP Cable
The 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T port uses RJ45 socket -- similar to
phone jack -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The
802.3u/802.3ab/802.3bz/802.3ae Ethernet standard requires Category
5 UTP for 100Mbps 100BASE-TX. 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T uses
Cat5e/6/6A/7 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters
(328 feet).
Standard Transfer Speed Cable Requirement (100M)
10GBASE-T 10000Mbit/s Cat 6A/7
5GBASE-T 5000Mbit/s Cat 6/6A/7
2.5GBASE-T 2500Mbit/s Cat 5e/6/6A/7
1000BASET 1000Mbit/s Cat 5e/6/6A/7
100BASE-TX 100Mbit/s Cat 5/5e/6/6A/7
Note
Be sure the connected network devices support MDI/
MDI-X. If it does not support, then use the crossover
Category 5e6/6A/7 cable.
