Common Management Interface Specification (CMIS) defines, starting with revision 4.0, a standard mechanism for managing the firmware of compliant transceivers. This mechanism allows for transceivers’ firmware to be updated without having to remove the transceiver from the switch. Firmware updates may be necessary in a testing or production environment to resolve potential firmware bugs. Some transceivers may also support firmware management operations in a hitless manner (without impacting traffic).

The SFP-10G-RA-1G-LX and SFP-10G-RA-1G-SX transceivers are rate adapting SFP+ transceivers with internal clause 37 auto-negotiation (AN) support. The transceiver host interface is 10G XFI and the module rate adapts in the egress direction from 10G to 1G before transmitting data on the attached fiber. In the ingress direction it rate adapts the received 1G data to 10G before sending to the host switch.

This feature introduces support for the SFP-10G-MRA-T SFP transceiver. This is a rate adapting transceiver, meaning it can convert the system side interface to a lower rate on the line side.

In an optical transceiver, electrical signals leaving the switch are converted to optical signals in the transmit path. Optical signals arriving at the transceiver are converted to electrical signals that enter the switch in the receive path. At the point of conversion, an automatic decision can be made to turn off (squelch) output when the input level drops below a certain threshold of usability (usually, LOS condition.) This is referred to as automatic squelching.
