The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical 

communications for both telecommunication and data communications applications. Due 

to its compact, hot pluggable characteristics,  SFPs are becoming a very popular choice 

for various applications. The small-chassis Magnum 6KQ is designed for industry-

standard Gb-SFPs and Gb-SFPCU (copper) for user selection of the SFP gigabit media 

type as desired. 

All SFPs used in Magnum 6KQs are compliant with the industry standard Multi-Source 

Agreement (MSA) ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking kit.  

  

Note: It is highly recommended to remove the fiber cable first before 

removing the SFP transceiver for any reason. Not removing the fiber cable first can 

damage the fiber cable, cable connector or optical interfaces. It is advised not to remove 

and insert a SFP transceiver frequently as this may shorten its useful life. 

Note: Always use an ESD wrist strap while handling the SFP transceivers 

since the SFP modules are static sensitive devices. 

Note: The copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver port supports 1000Mb only. It is 

recommended to use a straight-through RJ-45(4-twisted pair) connection while 

connecting to any Server/workstation. While connecting with any Switch/repeater or 

other device, it is recommended to use Crossover RJ-45 (4-twisted pair) category 5 or 

higher cabling. The maximum length supported on copper 1000BASE-T is 100mts (328 

ft.).
