How to install Accortec SFP+ Module

• Prepare the equipment: Power down the switch or router if required by your maintenance policy, and discharge any static electricity from your body or tools.
• Remove protective caps: Detach the dust caps from both the module and the SFP+ port on the device to ensure a clean connection.
• Insert the module correctly: Align the Accortec SFP+ Module with the slot and gently slide it in until it seats firmly with a characteristic click; avoid applying excessive force.
• Connect the fiber cable: Attach a fiber optic cable with an LC duplex connector to the module, ensuring proper polarity and a clean, dust-free connection.
• Power on and verify: Restore power to the device and check link status indicators and management software to confirm a stable 10G link and healthy transceiver readings (via DDM where available).

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is the Accortec SFP+ Module?

A: It is a hot-swappable 10Gbps SFP+ transceiver designed to plug into standard SFP+ ports, delivering high-speed fiber links with LC duplex connectors for MMF and SMF networks in data centers, campuses, and service provider environments.

Q: What wavelengths and reach can I expect?

A: Wavelength and reach depend on the SKU. Common configurations include SR variants for short-range MMF links (often up to several hundred meters) and LR/ER variants for long-range SMF links (several kilometers to tens of kilometers). Check the exact SKU specifications for precise wavelengths and reach values.

Q: Is the Accortec SFP+ Module compatible with all network hardware?

A: The module adheres to industry-standard SFP+ specifications and is designed for broad interoperability. However, compatibility can vary by vendor and device model. Always verify against your switch or router’s compatibility matrix for the exact SKU you plan to deploy.

Q: Does the module support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)?

A: Yes. DDM provides real-time diagnostic data such as laser power, temperature, supply voltage, and bias current, enabling proactive monitoring and quicker troubleshooting of link performance issues.

Q: How should I maintain and replace these modules?

A: Regularly inspect fiber connections for cleanliness, replace modules only with compatible SFP+ units, and follow your organization’s change management policies. When replacing, power down or follow hot-swap procedures per your equipment’s guidelines to minimize downtime.
