Preparing for Installation
Gigabit Interface Converters
SFP Optical Transceiver Modules
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver modules are
hot-pluggable and field-replaceable, and you can insert them into SFP module
slots on the front panel of the Supervisor Engine 720 and the WS-X6724-SFP
Gigabit Ethernet module. The SFP optical transceiver modules use an LC
connector.
You can use any combination of SFP modules that your Cisco device supports.
The only restrictions are that each SFP port must match the wavelength
specifications on the other end of the cable and that the cable must not exceed the
stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
