Viewing the Hardware Description
If you know the model or type of an optical module, you can view the section "Pluggable Modules
for Interfaces" in the Hardware Description to look up parameters of the optical module,
including the center wavelength, transmission distance, fiber types supported, receive optical
power, and transmit optical power.
Using a Command
If an optical module is installed in a running switch, you can run the display transceiver
command to view parameters of the optical module, including the center wavelength,
transmission distance, fiber types supported, receive optical power, and transmit optical power.
7.3 Understanding Copper Modules
Unlike optical modules, copper modules do not perform electrical-optical conversion. When
two optical interfaces have copper modules installed, the interfaces can be connected using a
copper cable. Currently, Huawei offers only GE copper modules with RJ45 interfaces. GE
copper modules work with Category 5 network cables, comply with 1000BASE-T (IEEE
802.3ab), and support a maximum transmission distance of 100 m.
