Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module / port
SFP modules allow users to select appropriate transceiver for each SFP port embedded in
Ethernet switch to provide the required connection over the available optical fiber type
(for example multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber) or over metal twisted pair type. SFP
modules are commonly available in several different categories: multi-mode fiber, single-
mode fiber and twisted pair cabling. Fast Ethernet SFP modules are not applicable for the
slots (ports) that support only Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules are not
applicable for the slots (ports) that support Fast Ethernet. Only use ABB SFP modules for AFS
family.
