SFP+ Removal and Replacement
Your troubleshooting and diagnostics might reveal that the SFP+ component of an NIU
card needs to be replaced. The SFP+ serves two functions:
• Converts electrical signals into optical signals used to communicate with other
optical networking equipment.
• Serves as the receptacle for the LC duplex fiber optic connectors.
The SFP+ is hot swappable; it may be replaced while the Acme Packet 6300/6350 is
powered on. Leave the NIU in the Acme Packet 6300/6350 as you extract the SFP+.
To obtain an SFP+, contact your Acme Packet sales representative directly.
SFP+ Media Signaling Interfaces
This section describes the media signaling interfaces, small form factor pluggable+
(SFP+). The signaling and media interface provides network connectivity for the
signaling and media traffic. Each interface can connect to a network at 10-gigabit
Ethernet speeds.
SFP+ Information
Only transceivers qualified by Acme Packet can be used in the Acme Packet
6300/6350. Mixed transceiver types are unsupported. Both transceiver locations must
be populated with the same SFP+ type.
The SFP+s are inserted into the NIU card. These SFP+ types can be used:
• 850nm LASER PROD — check the label on the back of the SFP+ for this
information to make sure you have the right mode transceiver. This multi mode
SFP+ features a black bale clasp latch.
• 1310nm LASER PROD — check the label on the back of the SFP+ for this
information to make sure you have the right mode transceiver. This single mode
SFP+ features a blue bale clasp latch.
SFP+ Identification
