User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP transceiver?
This transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 2 Gbps, which is standard for Fibre Channel networks. It is designed for storage area network (SAN) applications where consistent, high-speed data access is critical, such as connecting storage arrays to servers in enterprise environments.
What type of fiber and connector does this module use?
The module uses single-mode fiber with an LC connector interface. Single-mode fiber is optimized for long-distance transmissions up to 80 km, while the LC connector provides a compact, secure connection that minimizes insertion loss and is commonly used in high-density networking equipment.
Is this transceiver compatible with Cisco switches?
Yes, it is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant and tested for compatibility with Cisco MDS 9000 series switches, including models like DS-9134G, DS-C9120, DS-C9140, and DS-X9300 series. This ensures it can be used as a reliable alternative or expansion module in Cisco-based Fibre Channel SANs.
What does the 1470 nm wavelength indicate?
The 1470 nm wavelength refers to the specific optical channel used in CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. This allows the transceiver to transmit data over a dedicated wavelength, enabling multiple signals to share a single fiber strand efficiently, which is beneficial for maximizing fiber infrastructure in data centers or metro networks.
How far can this transceiver transmit data?
It has a reach distance of 80 kilometers over single-mode fiber. This makes it suitable for long-haul applications such as connecting storage networks across metropolitan areas or between data center sites without requiring signal regeneration equipment.
What warranty does this product include?
