Installation is simple: insert the hot-pluggable SFP28 module into a compatible SFP28 port and connect a duplex LC multimode fiber cable. For best performance, use OM4 fiber up to 100m, OM3 up to 70m, or OM2 up to 20m. No special tools are required.

The FTLF8536P4BCV typically ships as a compact optical transceiver that should be protected in anti-static packaging to help prevent damage during transit. When it arrives, inspect the LC connector ends and housing, and keep the protective dust caps on until installation.
