IPmux-8/16 Ver. 6.00 Connecting to the Ethernet Equipment 2-5
Installing SFP Transceivers
The fiber optic interfaces of the 4-port Ethernet modules use SFP modules.
Third-party SFP optical transceivers must be agency-approved, complying with
the local laser safety regulations for Class A laser equipment.
 To install the SFP modules:
1. Lock the wire latch of each SFP module by lifting it up until it clicks into place,
as illustrated in
Figure 2-5.
Some SFP models have a plastic door instead of a wire latch.
Figure 2-5. Locking the SFP Wire Latch
2. Carefully remove the dust covers from the SFP slots.
3. Insert the rear end of SFP into the socket, and push slowly backwards to mate
the connectors until the SFP clicks into place. If you feel resistance before the
connectors are fully mated, retract the SFP using the latch wire as a pulling
handle, and then repeat the procedure.
4. Remove the protective rubber caps from the SFP modules.
 To remove the SFP module:
1. Disconnect the fiber optic cables from the SFP module.
2. Unlock the wire latch by lowering it downwards (as opposed to locking).
3. Hold the wire latch and pull the SFP module out of the user Ethernet port.
Connecting the Ethernet Network Equipment
Figure 2-6 illustrates a typical rear panel of IPmux-16 with fiber optic LC connector
(4-port Ethernet module).
Figure 2-7 illustrates a typical rear panel of IPmux-8 with
electrical RJ-45 network connector (1-port Ethernet module).
 To connect to the Ethernet network equipment with fiber optic interface:
• Connect IPmux-8/16 to the Ethernet network equipment using a standard fiber
optic cable terminated with an LC connector.
