 Overview

As an industry-leading ICT infrastructure and industry solution provider, Ruijie Networks offers customers a wide variety of high-density and low-power optical modules. Optical transceivers are used to transmit optical signals over optical cables, featuring low loss over long-distance transmission. Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are suitable for short-distance transmission. An AOC consists of two optical transceivers and an optical cable.
The following types of form factors are available currently: XFP, SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFPDD, and  QSFP56.
Note

• Products support different types of optical modules. For more details, see the hardware installation instructions that come with your Ruijie device.
• The optical module information is subject to the change without prior notification. Please contact Ruijie Networks for the latest information.

Preparation

To avoid ESD damage to transceivers, cables, or electronic components, take anti-ESD measures before installation. Attach an anti-ESD wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug connected to the chassis.
The following figure shows the anti-ESD wrist strap with a coiled cable.
Figure 2-1 Wearing Anti-ESD Wrist Strap with a Coiled Cable If you have an anti-ESD glove, you are advised to wear the anti-ESD glove before attaching the anti-ESD wrist strap to your wrist.

Precautions

3.1 Installation Precautions

• Do not remove dust plugs from transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
• Disconnect optical cables from transceivers before installing transceivers.
• Proceed with caution during installation and removal. Do not touch edge connectors with your bare hands.
• Line up the transceiver with the socket opening and slide it into the socket before firmly pushing it into place.
• Do not stare into open apertures because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the optical port when no optical cable is connected.
• Do not bend, twist, or push optical cables. Otherwise, system performance deterioration or data loss may occur.

3.2 Removal Precautions

• Disconnect optical cables from transceivers before removing transceivers.
• For the optical transceiver equipped with a bail clasp, do not release the optical transceiver with force before pivoting the bail clasp down.
• Immediately reinstall the dust plugs in the optical connectors and in the transceiver optical bores after removing transceivers.

Installing and Removing the Optical Module

Optical modules come into three broad types based on form factors:

• XFP module: 4.1 Installing and Removing the XFP Module
• SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 modules: 4.2 Installing and Removing the SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 Module
• QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, and QSFP56 modules: 4.3 Installing and Removing the QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, or QSFP56 Module

The following sections introduce installation and removal steps of each module type.
4.1 Installing and Removing the XFP Module
4.1.1 Installing the XFP Transceiver Module

1. Keep the bail clasp aligned in a vertical position. Grasp the XFP transceiver module between your thumb and index fingers and slide the module into the slot until you feel the module snap into place, as shown in the following figure.
   Figure 4-1 Installing the XFP Transceiver Module

2. Connect the XFP transceiver module to the network using an optical cable. Select the optical cable with the connector corresponding to the optical port.

3. After the optical cable is plugged into the transceiver, the LINK/ACT LED on the switch turns on. Otherwise, check whether the optical cable is properly connected.

4.1.2 Removing the XFP Transceiver Module

1. Disconnect the optical cable from the XFP transceiver module.
2. Pivot the bail clasp down to the horizontal position. Grasp the XFP transceiver module between your thumb and index fingers and slide the module out of the socket, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 4-2 Removing the XFP Transceiver Module 4.2 Installing and Removing the SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 Module
This section elaborates on how to install optical transceivers and AOC modules respectively.
4.2.1 Installing the SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 Transceiver Module
Follow the same steps to install the SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 transceiver module. The following section takes the SFP28 transceiver module as an example.

1. Keep the bail clasp aligned in a vertical position. Grasp the SFP28 transceiver module between your thumb and index fingers and slide the module into the socket until you feel the module snap into place, as shown in the following figure.
   Figure 4-3 Installing the SFP28 Transceiver Module

2. Connect the SFP28 transceiver module to the network using an optical cable. Select the optical cable with the connector corresponding to the optical port.

3. After the optical cable is plugged into the transceiver, the LINK/ACT LED on the switch turns on. Otherwise, check whether the optical cable is properly connected.

Caution

• The BIDI modules must be used in pairs. For example, if you install the GE-SFP-SX-SM1310-BIDI in the local port, you must install the GE-SFP-SX-SM1550-BIDI in the peer port.
• When using the following optical transceiver modules with short-distance SMF cables, insert an optical attenuator at one end or the other of the link to avoid damage to the optical transceivers: GE-SFP-LH40-SM1310-BIDI & GE-SFP-LH40-SM1550-BIDI, MINI-GBIC-LH40-SM1310, MINI-GBIC-ZX80-SM1550, MINI-GBIC-ZX100-SM1550, SDH155-SFP-LH40-SM1310, and SDH155-SFP-LH80-SM1550.
• Do not use short-distance optical cables to connect the XG-SFP-ER-SM1550 or XG-SFP-ZR-SM1550 module. Otherwise, optical receiver overload may occur. If the optical power at the receiving end of the optical transceiver is greater than or equal to –1 dBm, insert an optical attenuator at the receiving end to keep the optical power smaller than –1 dBm.
• The 10G SFP+ transceiver module does not support auto-negotiation to 1G.
• The 25G SFP28 transceiver module does not support auto-negotiation to 10G.
