How to install/remove the SFP RJ-45 optical module?

2017-07-19
The optical module integrates precise optical elements and circuit elements. In the daily use, operation by specification should be noticed; otherwise, the optical module is easily broken. Do you know that there is SFP electrical port module in SFP optical module? How to install and remove SFP electrical port module? The article will give a detailed introduction to the specification of SFP electrical port module's installation and removal.
How to install/remove the SFP RJ-45 optical module?
1. Introduction to SFP Electrical Port Module

One terminal of SFP RJ-45 module is SFP gold finger connected with the main engine, and the other terminal is common LC interface connected with the optical patch. But sometimes live environment requires using RJ45 interface to connect with a copper network cable. But Internet interface of the device is not enough. Then SFP interface must be transited toRJ45 interface. The former is such an application that one terminal is SPF gold finger and the other terminal is an RJ45 interface with the general speed rate of Giga, and 10/100/1000M self-adaption. 

2. Installation Specifications for SFP Electrical Port Module

1). Connecting to the terminal of interchange

Connecting to the terminal of interchange
Step 1: wearing antistatic gloves to prevent from static ruin.

Step 2: taking SFP electrical port module out and making sure that pull-tab and label point upward, and gold finger points down. Pay attention to the notice that the obverse and reverse cannot reverse.

Step 3: the module must be inserted into the end with great efforts. When you hear "pa" or feel a slight shock, it indicates that module card is in place. When the optical module card is not in its place, the gold finger will slightly touch the single board, making the link connection possible. But under the situation of shock and collision, the optical module will have instant disconnection or even looseness and other faults.

2). Connecting to the terminal of copper network cable

Connecting to the terminal of copper network cable
Step 1: copper network cable (generally Cat 5e ) should be inserted into the RJ-45 interface of SFP electrical port with requirements of slight actions and insertion right into the optical interface. The way of hard insertion or in sideways may damage the optical module.

Step 2: Copper cable is sure to have been inserted firmly.

3. Removal specifications for SFP Electrical Port Module

Step 1: wearing antistatic gloves to prevent from static ruin;

Step2: disconnecting copper network cable and SFP electrical port module;

Step3: putting down the lock catch of SFP electrical port module, pulling the handle and light port to about 90 degrees and slowly pulling out. Pulling out too hard or pulling out if the handle is not in place may cause damage to light module shield.

Step 4: taking dust cap to cover the optical interface of Sfp Port module, preventing the optical interface from long exposure and damage.

4. Attentions

1). If unnecessary, do not extract or insert SFP electrical port module, otherwise, module's using lifespan may reduce.

2). When you use SFP electrical port module, do not look steadily at two optical holes with your eyes and avoid damage to your eyes from laser's light.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
