User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This transceiver supports single-mode optical fiber, which is designed for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. Single-mode fiber uses a smaller core diameter that allows light to travel in a single path, making it ideal for the 40-kilometer reach capability of this module while maintaining 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet performance.
What is the maximum distance this transceiver can support?
The AddOn XCVR-A40U31-AO transceiver supports connections up to 40 kilometers (approximately 24.85 miles) over single-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting geographically separated facilities, campus network extensions, and service provider access networks where longer distance requirements exist.
What does DOM monitoring provide for this transceiver?
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) enables real-time tracking of key performance parameters including optical power levels, temperature, and voltage. This monitoring capability allows network administrators to proactively identify potential issues, perform preventive maintenance, and ensure optimal network performance through visibility into the transceiver's operational status.
What temperature range does this transceiver operate within?
This transceiver operates within an extended temperature range of -40 to 85°C, making it suitable for deployment in demanding environmental conditions. This wide temperature tolerance supports installation in uncontrolled environments, industrial settings, and outdoor applications where temperature fluctuations are common without compromising performance.
What network equipment is this transceiver compatible with?
The transceiver is compatible with Ciena XCVR-A40U31 platforms and meets TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance requirements. It features a standard hot-swappable SFP form factor that works with network equipment supporting 100Base-BX Fast Ethernet over single-mode fiber with LC connectors and DOM monitoring capabilities.
What is the data transfer rate of this SFP transceiver?
This transceiver supports 100 Mbit/s data transfer rates using 100Base-BX Fast Ethernet technology. This performance level is suitable for network extensions, remote office connectivity, and fiber backbone implementations where reliable Fast Ethernet connectivity is required over single-mode fiber distances up to 40 kilometers.
