SFP Information (Port ▶ SFP ▶ Configuration)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Present | An indication of whether or not the SFP is present. Available options are:
|
| Port name | The physical connector the port is using If the physical connector is reported as Unknown, it means that the remote device is unlinked and that the information shown is cached from the last communication made with the remote device. |
| Part number | The manufacturer’s part number or product name |
| Serial number | The manufacturer’s serial number for the transceiver |
| Wavelength | The nominal transmitter wavelength at room temperature, expressed in nanometers |
| Speed override | The speed supported by the SFP, such as 100Mbps, 1Gbps, or 10Gbps. The default setting is Automatic. In this case, the port speed is configured to the highest rate detected from the SFP. You can, if needed, manually override the SFP speed by selecting a specific speed value. The Sensor Module does not support 100Mbps on the SFP port. |

SFP or Fiber Information
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Connector Type | The external cable connector provided as the media interface |
| Vendor | The manufacturer name This is a 16-character field that contains ASCII characters, padded on the right with ASCII spaces (20h). |
| Wave Length | Indicates the nominal transmitter wavelength at room temperature, expressed in nanometers |
| Part number | The manufacturer part number or product name This is a 16-byte field that contains ASCII characters, padded on the right with ASCII spaces (20h). |
| Serial number | The manufacturer serial number for the transceiver This is a 16-character field that contains ASCII characters, padded on the right with ASCII spaces (20h). |
| Revision | The manufacturer’s product revision This is a 16 character field that contains ASCII characters, padded on the right with ASCII spaces (20h). |
| SFP present | Indicates the presence of a recognized SFP |
| Diagnostics | Supported or unsupported A value of supported indicates that diagnostic information is provided in the SFP memory section. |
| Calibration | Internal: The values are calibrated to absolute measurements, which should be interpreted according to the “Internal Calibration” convention External: The values are A/D counts, which are converted into real units according to the “External Calibration” convention. |
| Thresholds | Indicates whether alarm and warning thresholds are supported |
| Speed | The speed supported by the SFP, such as 1Gbps or 10Gbps Two values are displayed:

Monitoring Information
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Temperature | Transceiver temperature, measured internally Temperature accuracy is manufacturer-specific, but must be better than 3 degrees Celsius for the specified operating temperature and voltage. |
| Supply Voltage | Transceiver supply voltage, measured internally Note: Transmitter supply voltage and receiver supply voltage are isolated in some transceivers. In that case, only one supply is monitored. Refer to the device specifications for details. |
| Laser Bias Current | Coupled TX output power, measured internally Accuracy is manufacturer-specific but must be better than 3 dB for the specified operating temperature and voltage. Data is assumed to be based on measurement of a laser monitor photo-diode current. Data is not valid when the transmitter is disabled. |
| Receive Power | Received optical power, measured internally Accuracy depends on the exact optical wavelength. For the manufacturer’s specified wavelength, accuracy should be better than 3 dB for the specified temperature and voltage. This accuracy should be maintained for input power levels up to the lesser of maximum transmitted or maximum received optical power per the appropriate standard. It should be maintained down to the minimum transmitted power minus cable plant loss (insertion loss or passive loss) per the appropriate standard. Accuracy beyond this minimum required received input optical power range is manufacturer specific. |
| Transmit Power | Coupled TX output power, measured internally. Accuracy is manufacturer-specific but must be better than 3 dB for the specified operating temperature and voltage. Data is assumed to be based on measurement of a laser monitor photodiode current. Data is not valid when the transmitter is disabled. |
