User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum distance this SFP transceiver can support?
This transceiver supports a maximum reach of 80 kilometers over single-mode fiber. This long-distance capability makes it suitable for connecting remote sites, such as between buildings in a campus or across metropolitan areas, without requiring additional repeaters or amplifiers.
What type of fiber and connector does this module use?
It uses single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC duplex connector. Single-mode fiber is ideal for long-distance transmissions due to its lower attenuation, and the LC connector provides a secure, small-form-factor interface commonly used in high-density networking equipment.
Does this SFP transceiver include monitoring capabilities?
Yes, it features DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring), which allows real-time monitoring of key parameters like optical power, temperature, and voltage. This helps network administrators proactively manage performance, diagnose issues, and maintain optimal network health without physical inspection.
What network speed and technology does this transceiver support?
It supports Fast Ethernet technology with a data transfer rate of 100Mbps, specifically using the 100Base-ZX standard. This makes it compatible with Ethernet networks requiring reliable, moderate-speed connectivity over fiber optic infrastructure.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable and TAA compliant?
Yes, it is hot-swappable, meaning you can install or replace it without powering down the network device, minimizing downtime. It is also TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring it meets U.S. government procurement standards for use in public sector and enterprise environments.
What applications is this SFP transceiver best suited for?
It is ideal for data networking and optical network applications requiring long-distance connectivity, such as enterprise backbone links, ISP networks, campus interconnects, and data center extensions. Its 80km reach and single-mode fiber support make it a reliable choice for critical infrastructure deployments.
