User’s Guide
See the Zyxel website for a list of supported transceivers.

Introduction

Use a transceiver module for connection to a remote device. SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules are hot-swappable. You can install and remove a module while your device is operating.
SFP/SFP+ modules both use 3.3V power input and LC-type connectors.
SFP/SFP+ modules support a data rate of 100M/1G/10G bps and single-mode/multi-mode connection based on its specification.

Handling Warning
All modules are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is recommended you attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface when you install or remove a module.

All modules are dust-sensitive. When not in use, always keep the dust plug on. Avoid getting dust and other contaminant into the optical bores, as the optics do not work correctly when obstructed with dust.

Safety Warning

All modules are equipped with a Class 1 laser, which emits invisible radiation. Read the following safety warnings carefully.

To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic module’s connectors.
Laser radiation is present when the device or system is powered up.
