Fibre Channel SFP Transceivers
The iSR6142 router supports SFP optical transceivers for the Fibre Channel ports.
A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to
transmit and receive data. Duplex fibre optic cables plug into the transceivers,
which then connect to the devices. The Fibre Channel ports are capable of
transmitting at 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps; the transceiver must also be capable of
delivering these rates.
The SFP transceivers are hot pluggable – you can remove or install a transceiver
while the router is operating without harming the router or the transceiver.
However, this interrupts communication with the connected device. For
information about installing and removing SFP optical transceivers, see page 4-5.
