How to install Accortec SFP+ Module

Installing the Accortec SFP+ Module is straightforward and designed for quick upgrades with minimal downtime. Follow these steps to ensure a proper, reliable connection:

• Power down or prepare for hot-swapping: If your equipment supports hot-swapping, you may install the module without powering down the device. If not, power down the host as per your vendor’s guidance.
• Insert the module into the SFP+ slot: Align the module with the slot and gently slide it in until the latch clicks into place. Ensure the module is firmly seated and that the LED indicators (if available) show a healthy link status.
• Connect the fiber optic cable: Attach a compatible LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cord to the module’s LC duplex connector. Ensure proper polarity and cleanliness of the connector ferrule to maintain signal integrity.
• Link verification: Power up the device (if powered down) and verify the link status via the device’s management interface or LEDs. Confirm that the link is up and the 10G link is active.
• Configure network settings: Depending on your network design, configure VLANs, trunking, and any required 10G interfaces. Validate throughput with a standard speed test to confirm full 10 Gbps performance across the link.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What networks is the Accortec SFP+ Module compatible with?
  A: The module is designed to be MSAs-compliant and widely compatible with a broad range of 10G switches, routers, and optical devices. Always check your vendor’s compatibility matrix or test in a controlled environment to confirm interoperability with specific chassis and firmware versions.
• Q: What wavelengths does this BiDi SFP+ use?
  A: The typical BiDi configuration for 10GBASE-BX40-D uses a transmit wavelength around 1490 nm and a receive wavelength around 1310 nm. This pairing enables bidirectional single-fiber operation with a single fiber pair when paired with the appropriate counterpart module.
• Q: How long can I run this module over fiber?
  A: Depending on the fiber type and link budget, the module supports distances up to 40 kilometers on standard single-mode fiber. For longer runs, consider fiber quality, connectors, and potential dispersion.
• Q: Is the module hot-swappable?
  A: Yes. The Accortec SFP+ Module is designed for hot-swap installation in devices that support it, enabling maintenance without powering down critical equipment.
• Q: What maintenance or care is required?
  A: Handle connectors with care, use proper cleaning tools for optical interfaces, and store spare fibers properly. Regular link checks and firmware updates for connected devices help maintain optimal performance.
• Q: What warranty or support comes with this module?
  A: Warranty terms vary by seller and region. Refer to the vendor’s warranty policy for detailed coverage, including duration and support options. In general, many 10G SFP+ modules carry a limited hardware warranty and access to technical support.
