How to install Ortronics Ciena SFP Module

• Power down the equipment if required by your environment, or confirm that your system supports hot-swapping of SFP modules.
• Identify an available SFP slot in your switch, router, or server blade and prepare the slot for insertion.
• Gently insert the Ortronics Ciena SFP Module into the slot until it seats with a clear click and is firmly locked in place.
• Connect the fiber optic cable using a high-quality LC duplex fiber. Ensure proper polarity (Tx to Rx) and secure the connectors to prevent accidental disengagement.
• Power on the device (if powered down) and verify the link status on the port. The port should initialize at 1 Gbit/s and establish a stable CWDM connection with the remote device.
