-If one has not already been defined, create a [module type profile](../models/dcim/moduletypeprofile.md) for SFPs. This profile will be assigned for all module types which represent a pluggable transceiver. Typically, you will need only one profile for all pluggable transceivers.

+New NetBox installations include a "Transceiver" [module type profile](../models/dcim/moduletypeprofile.md), which you can select for all module types which represent a pluggable transceiver. Typically, you will need only one profile for all pluggable transceivers. If this profile is not present, or if you prefer a different set of attributes, create your own profile for SFPs instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-You might opt to define custom attributes for the profile by defining a custom [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/). Profile attributes might be used to define characteristics unique to transceivers, such as optical wavelength and power ranges. Adding profile attributes is optional, and can be done at a later point.

+The default profile defines attributes for form factor, media, PHY, data rate, reach, and connector type. You might opt to add or replace these by editing the profile's [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/). Profile attributes might be used to define characteristics unique to transceivers, such as optical wavelength and power ranges. Adding profile attributes is optional, and can be done at a later point.
