How to install Ortronics Calix SFP Module

  • Power down the host equipment or ensure a safe state before handling the SFP module. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge and handle the module by the edges.
  • Identify the correct SFP slot on the switch, router, or server that supports 1000Base-CWDM SFP modules. Confirm that the device supports CWDM transceivers and LC duplex connections.
  • Remove any existing SFP module from the slot if you are upgrading. Align the Ortronics Calix SFP Module with the slot and gently insert it until it seats with a secure click.
  • Connect the LC duplex fiber cable to the module’s LC connectors, ensuring proper polarity and a clean, dust-free connection. Avoid bending the fiber beyond the recommended bend radius.
  • Power up the device and verify link status using the device’s management interface or command-line tools. Confirm that the port negotiates to 1 Gbps and that the CWDM link is established over the intended distance.
  • Run a quick validation test to assess signal integrity and throughput. For CWDM deployments, verify channel alignment and ensure the link budget supports the 80 km reach as required by your network design.
