User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber cable does this SFP transceiver require?
This transceiver is designed for use with multi-mode fiber optic cable (MMF). It operates at a 1310nm wavelength and is compatible with standard 50/125µm or 62.5/125µm multi-mode fiber, supporting link distances up to 2 kilometers.
Is this module compatible with my Allied Telesis switch?
The AddOn AT-SPFX/2-AO is specifically tested and coded for compatibility with a wide range of Allied Telesis switch series. This includes the 8000GS, 8000S, 8100S, 8100L, 8500, 9000, 9900, AT-IFS802SP, FS750, FS970M, and GS900 series. For the exact model, please refer to the detailed compatibility list in the product specifications.
What does DOM support provide?
DOM, or Digital Optical Monitoring, is a feature that allows the transceiver to report real-time diagnostic parameters. Through your switch's management interface, you can monitor values such as transmitted optical power, received optical power, laser bias current, and temperature, aiding in link health assessment and troubleshooting.
What is the maximum data speed and distance?
This is a Fast Ethernet transceiver operating on the 100Base-FX standard, providing a maximum data transfer rate of 100 megabits per second (Mbps). Over standard multi-mode fiber, it supports a maximum reach of 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles).
What does TAA compliant mean?
TAA stands for the Trade Agreements Act. A TAA-compliant product, like this transceiver, is manufactured or substantially transformed in a country that has a trade agreement with the United States. This compliance is often a mandatory requirement for products sold to the U.S. federal government and many state/local government entities.
Is the module hot-swappable?
Yes, this SFP transceiver features a hot-swappable form factor. This means you can install or remove the module from a compatible switch's SFP port without needing to power down the switch, allowing for maintenance or upgrades with minimal network disruption.
