Product Features
Technical Overview
This XFP transceiver operates on the 10GBase-SR Ethernet standard, which defines 10 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. It uses an 850nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) source, which is standard for SR applications. The module supports multi-mode fiber types such as OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4, with a maximum reach of 300 meters depending on fiber quality.
The electrical interface complies with XFP MSA standards, ensuring interoperability with XFP slots in compatible switches and routers. It features a single LC duplex port for fiber connection and includes DOM functionality per SFF-8472, providing digital access to real-time operating parameters. The transceiver is hot-swappable, allowing insertion and removal without powering down the host device.
