2.2.3 Installing the SFP transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-plug and hot-swappable. You can plug-in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port
without having to power down the Web Smart Gigabit Switch. As the

Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET GSW -1602SF/GSW-2404SF support both single mode and multi mode SFP transceiver. The following list of
approved PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
MGB-SX SFP (1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver )
MGB-LX SFP (1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver )
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Web Smart Gigabit Switch. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is
not supported, the Web Smart Gigabit Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect the other switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both side of the SFP transceiver are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to
1000Base-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transceiver model.
To connect to
1000Base-SX
SFP transceiver, use the
multi-mode
fiber cable- with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
To connect to
1000Base-LX
SFP transceiver, use the
single-mode
fiber cable-with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
