Removing the RJ45 SFP / RJ45 SFP+ Module
1. Press the RJ45 crystal head and pull out the cable.
2. Pull down the latch and remove the module.
Note: Images may dier from the actual products.
The 10G RJ45 SFP+ modules consume more power than optical modules. This may result in higher heat. To avoid overheating, it is recommended to place the
modules separated by multiple optical transceivers or empty slots.
When used in high temperature environments, additional cooling must be applied.

Note:
1. TL-SM331T does not support the data rate of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.TL-SM
5310-T does not support the data rate of 10 Mbps, but supports 100 Mbps /
1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps / 5 Gbps / 10 Gbps.
2. When a Gigabit RJ45 SFP module is inserted into a 10 Gbps SFP+ slot, extra
conguration may be required.
3. When the 10G RJ45 SFP+ module is inserted into a 10 Gbps SFP+ slot and
the maximum rate of the peer connection port is 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps,
or 100 Mbps, the ow control for the 10 Gbps SFP+ slot needs to be
manually enabled.

Safety Information
Keep the device away from water, re, humidity or hot environments.
Do not touch the device while it is operating.
To prevent potential risks caused by heat, do not place your network device on
non-heat-resistant paper, cloth, fabrics, plastics, or any other surface that
doesn't provide space beneath your device for heat dissipation.
The air ow around the device should be increased, or the overall ambient
temperature should be lowered to keep the temperature of the modules within
the recommended range.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the device. If you need
service, please contact us.
TP-Link hereby declares that the device is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of directives 2014/30/EU,
2014/35/EU, 2009/125/EC, 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863.
