SFP Module Replacement
This chapter describes how to replace small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules. SFP modules are
inserted into the SFP module slot on the Cisco 3270 Rugged Router card. These modules provide the
uplink optical interfaces, laser send (TX) and laser receive (RX).
The following are qualified Gigabit SFP modules:
Gigabit Multi-Mode SFP (Cisco part number: GLC-SX-MM-RGD):
•
Gigabit Single-Mode SFP (Cisco part number: GLC-LX-SM-RGD):

interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect the cable before you remove or install an SFP module.
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP
modules more often than is necessary.
