FAQ
What is the data transfer speed of this SFP+ transceiver?
This transceiver supports 16 Gigabit Ethernet (16Gbps) using the 16GBase-SW Fibre Channel standard. It provides high-speed connectivity for data-intensive applications like storage area networks, ensuring fast and reliable data transfers between network devices.
What type of fiber and connector does this module use?
The module is designed for multimode optical fiber with an LC connector interface. It operates at an 850nm wavelength and supports distances up to 300 meters, making it suitable for short to medium-range data center and enterprise network links.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, it features a hot-swappable form factor, allowing you to install or replace the module without powering down the network switch or equipment. This minimizes downtime and simplifies maintenance in live network environments.
What does MSA compliance mean for compatibility?
MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliance ensures that the transceiver meets industry-standard specifications for physical dimensions, electrical interfaces, and optical performance. This guarantees interoperability with a wide range of SFP+ ports from different manufacturers, reducing compatibility concerns.
Why is TAA compliance important?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that the product is manufactured in the United States or a designated country, making it eligible for use in U.S. government contracts and other regulated procurement scenarios. This ensures adherence to sourcing requirements for public-sector and institutional buyers.
What is included in the 2-pack packaging?
The product comes as a 2-pack, containing two identical AddOn 7101676-AO SFP+ transceivers. This provides a spare for redundancy, facilitates dual-port configurations, or offers cost savings compared to purchasing single units, making it convenient for deployment in pairs.
