Notes:
TFAULT is an open collector/drain output, which should be pulled up with a 4.7k-10k Ohms resistor on the host board if intended for use. Pull up voltage should be between 2.0V to Vcc + 0.3V. A high output indicates a transmitter fault caused by either the TX bias current or the TX output power exceeding the preset alarm thresholds. A low output indicates normal operation. In the low state, the output is pulled to <0.8V.
Laser output disabled on TDIS >2.0V or open, enabled on TDIS <0.8V
Should be pulled up with 4.7kΩ-10kΩ on host board to a voltage between 2.0V and 3.6V. MOD_ABS pulls line low to indicate module is plugged in.
LOS is open collector output. Should be pulled up with 4.7kΩ-10kΩ on host board to a voltage between 2.0V and 3.6V. Logic 0 indicates normal operation; logic 1 indicates loss of signal.
RJ-45 Console and I²C interfaces are integrated in the same connector. Due to that, connecting any cable other than the Mellanox supplied console cable may cause an I²C hang.
Using uncertified cables may damage the I²C interface. Refer to the Replacement Parts Ordering Numbers appendix for harness details.

The RS232 harness cable (DB9 to RJ45) is provided within the package to connect a host PC to the system's Console RJ45 port.
RJ45 to DB9 Harness Pinout
2m RJ45-to-RJ45 serial port cable is provided in the SN2410 and SN2700 packages.
The harness must be used when connecting the switch serial port with the terminal server/console server.
The new harness can be extended by an ordinary flat 1-to-1 RJ45 cable.
