Figure4-15 Installing an SFP+ transceiver module
Connecting a network cable
CAUTION:
•
The bend radius of a DAC cable must be a minimum of 15 times the cable diameter.
•
The bend radius of an AOC cable must be a minimum of 20 times the cable diameter.
To connect ports over a short distance, use network cables as follows:
•
SFP+ DAC cable
—Connects two SFP+ ports over a short distance.
•
SFP28 DAC or SFP28 AOC cable
—Connects two SFP28 ports over a short distance.
•
QSFP+ DAC or QSFP+ AOC cable
—Connects two QSFP+ ports over a short distance.
•
QSFP28 DAC or QSFP28 AOC cable
—Connects two QSFP28 ports over a short distance.
•
QSFP+ to SFP+ DAC cable
—Connects one QSFP+ port to four SFP+ ports over a short
distance.
•
QSFP28 to SFP28 DAC cable
—Connects one QSFP28 port to four SFP28 ports over a short
distance.
•
QSFP-DD DAC cable
—Connects two QSFP-DD ports over a short distance.
The network cables are hot swappable. The connection procedure is similar for these cables. The
following procedure connects an SFP+ DAC cable.
To connect an SFP+ DAC cable:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded. For more information, see "
2.
Remove the dust plug from the target fiber port.
3.
Unpack the cable.
4.
As shown in
, align the module end of the cable with the fiber port and push it gently
into the port until you feel it snaps into place.
Transceiver modules and fiber ports have disorientation rejection structures. If you cannot
insert a transceiver module easily into a port, remove and reorient the transceiver module.
