Usage Guidelines & Laser Safety
Operators must wear ESD anti-static wrist straps during 10G DWDM SFP+ Transceiver installation to avoid static damage to internal optical chips and circuits. Never observe powered LC ports directly, as invisible infrared laser may cause permanent eye injury. For testing distances below 10km, install 15–20dB optical attenuators to prevent APD receiver saturation and signal distortion. Clean fiber end faces thoroughly before docking to reduce insertion loss. Reserve sufficient cabinet airflow for densely deployed 10G DWDM SFP+ Transceivers to avoid thermal accumulation and wavelength drift. Regularly check DOM monitoring data for proactive network maintenance.
When the Cisco compatible 10G DWDM SFP+ transceiver is used in short distance transmission, please match it with the appropriate attenuator according to the table.
