How to Identify SFP/SFP+ Transceivers
It is not always easy to tell the difference between various SFP+/SFP transceivers. Use the following tips to keep track of your transceivers:
-
SFP+ transceivers use metal bail and latch assemblies. The color of the metal bail corresponds to the SFP+ type, as summarized in G-TAP A-SF Transceiver Details.
-
1G SFP transceivers use either bail and latch assemblies with a colored plastic sheath around the bail or assemblies made entirely of plastic (Sx SFP). The color of the plastic sheath corresponds to the SFP type, as summarized in G-TAP A-SF Transceiver Details.

SFP/SFP+ Transceiver Operating Specifications
G-TAP A-SF Transceiver Details summarizes the operating characteristics of the SFP/SFP+ transceivers supported for use with the G-TAP A-SF. Keep in mind the following important notes regarding the information in the table:
|
Note 1 |
Launch power and sensitivity values provided here are for reference only. |
|
Note 2 |
Multi-mode distance shown in the tables below is dependent on the cable's modal bandwidth. See your cable manufacturer’s specifications for detailed information. |
|
Note 3 |
Multi-mode fibers can be 62.5/125 or 50/125. Mixing different fiber types can cause link distance to degrade. |
