User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This SFP transceiver supports single-mode fiber exclusively. Single-mode fiber is designed for longer distance transmissions with lower signal loss compared to multimode fiber, making it ideal for the 10km reach capability of this module. The LC connector interface provides a standard termination point for single-mode fiber patch cables in data networking environments.
What is the maximum distance this transceiver can support?
The AddOn E1MG-BXD-AO SFP transceiver supports distances up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) over single-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for campus networks, metropolitan area connections, and data center interconnects where longer fiber runs are necessary. The actual achievable distance may vary based on fiber quality, splices, and environmental conditions.
What does DOM monitoring provide?
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) provides real-time performance data including temperature, voltage, bias current, transmit power, and receive power. This monitoring capability allows network administrators to track the health and performance of the optical link, identify potential issues before they cause network disruptions, and troubleshoot connectivity problems more effectively. DOM data is accessible through compatible network management systems.
Is this transceiver compatible with Brocade equipment?
Yes, this transceiver is specifically designed for compatibility with Brocade networking equipment. It has been tested and verified to work with multiple Brocade switch series including Bigiron RX Series, Fastiron FCX Series, Fastiron FESX Series, Fastiron FGS Series, Fastiron FLS Series, Fastiron FWS Series, and Netiron CER/CES Series. The MSA compliant design ensures proper mechanical and electrical interface with SFP slots in these devices.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this product meets the requirements for procurement by U.S. government agencies and other entities subject to TAA regulations. TAA compliance ensures the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or in designated countries, making it eligible for government contracts and regulated purchasing programs that require TAA-compliant products.
What is the warranty period for this SFP transceiver?
