SFP+ Removal and Replacement

Your troubleshooting and diagnostics might reveal that the SFP+ component of an NIU card needs to be replaced. The SFP+ serves two functions:

• Converts electrical signals into optical signals used to communicate with other optical networking equipment.
• Serves as the receptacle for the LC duplex fiber optic connectors.

The SFP+ is hot swappable; it may be replaced while the Acme Packet 6300/6350 is powered on. Leave the NIU in the Acme Packet 6300/6350 as you extract the SFP+.

To obtain an SFP+, contact your Acme Packet sales representative directly.
