How to Install Accortec SFP (mini-GBIC) Module

• Identify an available SFP port on your switch, router, or server and confirm compatibility with the Accortec module for your device family.
• Remove any protective dust cap from the SFP slot and lightly inspect the slot area to ensure there is no debris or damage.
• Align the Accortec SFP module with the slot, ensuring the module’s connector faces the back of the chassis and the notches line up with the slot guides.
• Gently insert the module into the slot until it seats securely with a positive click; do not force the module, and verify that the device recognizes the transceiver via the management interface.
• Connect the fiber optic cable to the LC duplex connector, ensuring the correct fiber type (MMF or SMF) and proper fiber polarity; securely fasten the cable to avoid unintended disconnections, and then verify link status through device LEDs and management tools.

Frequently asked questions

• What is an SFP (mini-GBIC) module?

An SFP (small form-factor pluggable) module is a compact, hot-swappable transceiver used to connect network switches, routers, and servers to fiber optic networks. It enables flexible, scalable, and cost-effective fiber deployments by supporting different wavelengths, distances, and fiber types within a standardized optical interface.

• Is the Accortec SFP compatible with my switch or router?

Accortec SFP modules are designed to be compatible with standard 1000BASE Ethernet interfaces and are widely used across many brands. However, exact compatibility can depend on the SKU, firmware, and device vendor policies. Always verify SKU-specific compatibility with your hardware documentation or supplier.

• Are there different models for MMF vs SMF or various wavelengths?

Yes. SFP modules come in a range of wavelengths (e.g., 850 nm for multimode, 1310/1550 nm for single-mode) and fiber types (MMF/SMF). The specific wavelength and reach are model-dependent, so choose the SKU that matches your fiber type and distance requirements.

• Can I install the SFP module while the device is powered on?

Most SFP modules are designed to be hot-swappable, meaning they can be inserted or removed with the device powered on. However, always follow your equipment vendor’s maintenance guidelines to avoid any risk to the device or warranty.

• What about warranty and support?

Warranty and support terms vary by seller and SKU. Check the product listing or vendor policy for the exact terms that apply to the Accortec SFP module you purchase, including return windows and coverage.
