The MA Network Switch comes with up to four SFP cages. These cages accept mini-GBIC transceivers.\
Two are at the rear panel, port 9 and 10. Two are inside the MA Switch.

For information on the compatibility see [SFP Transceiver Compatibility](/network/key_sfp_transceiver_compatibility/). 

To install mini-GBIC transceivers inside the switch at port 11 and port 12, call your local distributor.
