ports.

SFP Port

The AT-FS708/POE switch has one SFP port that can accommodate an
optional Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver.

The SFP transceiver is a fast and easy way for you to add an 1000 Mbps
fiber optic uplink port to your Fast Ethernet switch. You can use the SFP to
extend the distance of your network, build a high-speed backbone network
between switches, or connect additional end nodes to the network, such
as high-speed servers.

Figure 2 shows an example of an SFP transceiver.

Note

The SFP transceiver only supports Gigabit operation and works
independently without taking any port priority.
