Note about Transceivers 

The M4600 and M5600 appliances do not include fiber transceivers. The 1 Gb ports support the SFP 
standard, and the 10 Gb ports support the SFP+ standard. Transceivers and direct attach cables that 
support these standards will work in the appliance. WatchGuard maintains a current hardware 
compatibility list of transceivers that have been tested and confirmed to work with our appliances in our 

Knowledge Base

. That said, other off-the-shelf transceivers should work too. 

Both Multi-Mode (Short Range, 1000Base-SX, 850nm) and Single-mode (1000Base-LX, 1310nm, up to 
10km) are supported. Direct attach cables have also been tested and confirmed to work.
