How to use

Install the transceiver into an SFP28‑compatible port on a switch, router or server while the host device is powered down or following the equipment vendor's hot‑swap procedure. Connect single‑mode fiber patch cords with the appropriate LC connectors and ensure correct polarity. After insertion, verify link status and negotiated speed in the host system’s management interface and confirm optical power and signal integrity via diagnostics if available.

Recommendations

Handle the transceiver and fiber connectors with care to avoid contamination; use dust caps when the module is not connected. Match the transceiver's single‑mode LR capability with corresponding single‑mode fiber cabling and compatible ports. For predictable operation, use vendor‑supported compatibility lists and keep firmware and device configurations up to date.
