A.1.7 Optical Fiber
The optical fiber is used for carrying signals on Gigabit networks or networks with a higher
packet rate.
The optical fiber connects to the SFP+ or SFP interface on the USG through an optical
module. You can select optical modules and fibers based on the interfaces of the peer device.
Huawei optical modules are recommended. The optical modules of other vendors may have
incompatibility issues and cause faults on the USG.
Structure and Appearance
Optical fibers are classified into single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers. Single-mode
optical fibers are used for long-distance transmission whereas multi-mode optical fibers are
used for short-distance transmission. For indoor optical fibers, the cover of single-mode
optical fibers is usually yellow, as shown in
optical fibers is usually orange, as shown in
with the USG. Therefore, you need to purchase optical fibers as required.
