How to install Ortronics Arista SFP Module

• Power down or suspend operation on the host device if required by your network policies, and locate an available SFP slot in the switch, router, or server.
• Insert the Ortronics Arista SFP Module into the SFP slot until it seats with a click, ensuring the connector aligns with the device interface and the module is firmly engaged.
• Connect the fiber optic link using a single-mode LC duplex fiber cable, matching transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) paths to the corresponding ports on both ends of the link.
• Organize and secure the optical fiber path, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Route cables through patch panels or MDF/IDF environments to maintain signal integrity and prevent mechanical stress.
• Power up the device and verify the module is recognized by the operating system or network management platform. Validate link status, perform basic loopback or throughput tests, and confirm that the interface is operational and ready for traffic.
