Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF/GSW-2416SF support both single mode and multi mode SFP transceiver. The
following list of approved PLANET SFP transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
■MGB-SX SFP (1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver )
■MGB-LX SFP (1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver )
#Note:
It recommends using PLANET SFPs on the Switch. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not
supported, the Switch will not recognize it.
Before connect the other switches, workstation or Media Converter.
1. Make sure both side of the SFP transfer are with the same media type, for example: 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX,
1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX.
2. Check the fiber-optic cable type match the SFP transfer model.
¾ To connect to 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable- with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
¾ To connect to 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver, use the single-mode fiber cable-with one side must be male
duplex LC connector type.
Connect the fiber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device – switches with SFP installed, fiber NIC on a workstation or a Media
Converter..
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link failed. Co works with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, set the
Link mode to “1000 Force” is needed.
