Lantronix N-TGE-SFP-02 User Guide Copper SFPs and Copper Cable Caution: Copper SFPs generate more heat than MSA allows and are therefore not recommended for use in the NIC. Copper SFP applications include Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers, Fiber Channel switch infrastructure, xDSL applications, and Metro Edge Switching. TN-SFP-GE-T Copper SFP: Hardened Cisco Compatible Gigabit SFP Module 1000Base-T (RJ-45) https://www.lantronix.com/products/tn-sfp-ge-t/ or TN-SFP-T-MG Copper SFP: MSA Compliant 10/100/1000Base Copper SFP Module 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) https://www.lantronix.com/products/tn-sfp-t-mg/ Caution: Be careful when removing the SFP or SFP+ from a device. Some SFP transceiver module temperatures may exceed 160°F (70°C) and be too hot to touch with bare hands. Warning: Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected; avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. SFP/SFP+ Optical Modules Note that SFP and SFP+ Modules are sold separately. For Lantronix SFP/SFP+ Optical Transceivers see the SFP webpage. SFP+ transceiver modules can be used to connect fiber optic cables to the NIC card, greatly increasing the cable reach. Note that NIC cards are shipped without SFP modules. Warning: Never attempt to view optical connectors that might be emitting laser energy. Do not power up the laser product without connecting the laser to the optical fiber and putting the cover in position, as laser outputs will emit infrared laser light at this point. Caution: We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove the SFP module with fiber-optic cables attached to it because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module. For more information see the manual specific to your SFP on the Lantronix SFP webpage. Note: If you insert a 1G SFP module in the NIC, you must also use a 1G SFP at the connected equipment. If you insert a 10G SFP module in the NIC, you must also use a 10G SFP at the connected equipment. If using 1G SFP modules you must install them before powering on the PC. The NIC defaults to 10G operation unless the 1G SFP modules are installed before powering up. If using 1G SFPs, they must support DMI. Note: 1G SFP modules must be installed before powering on the PC to work correctly. Note: The supported fiber type and transmission distance depend on the SFP/SFP+ module installed in the NIC's SFP slot. Note that SFP and SFP+ modules are sold separately. See the Lantronix SFP webpage. Note: Only 1G SFP modules that support DMI (Diagnostic Monitoring Interface) are recognized by the NIC Intel driver. 33819 Rev. B https://www.lantronix.com/ 16
