When you attach a fiber optic cable to a SFP transceiver, be sure to
observe the following guidelines:
ˆ You should verify that you are using the appropriate type of fiber optic
cabling. For SFP cabling specifications, refer to the installation guide
provided with the transceiver.
ˆ You should verify that the operating specifications of the remote fiber
optic port are compatible with the SFP transceiver. For example, you
cannot connect a fiber optic SFP transceiver with a maximum
distance of 40 kilometers and an operating wavelength of 1550
nanometers (nm) to a remote fiber optic port with an maximum
distance of only 10 kilometers and an operating wavelength of 1310
nm.
ˆ Be sure that the cable connectors is firmly locked into place in the
