User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This transceiver supports singlemode fiber exclusively. Singlemode fiber uses a smaller core diameter that allows light to travel in a single path, enabling longer distance transmission with minimal signal loss compared to multimode fiber. The 1310nm wavelength is optimized for singlemode fiber, supporting reaches up to 10 kilometers.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this module?
The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 2 gigabits per second (2 Gbps) using the 2GBase-LW Fibre Channel standard. This provides sufficient bandwidth for legacy storage area network applications, supporting block-level storage traffic with reliable performance over extended distances.
Which Cisco switches is this transceiver compatible with?
This transceiver is compatible with multiple Cisco MDS 9000 series switches including DS-C9120-K9, DS-C9140-K9, DS-C9216A-K9, DS-C9216i-K9, DS-X9016, DS-X9032, DS-X9032-SSM, DS-X9302-14K9, MDS 9124, DS-C9148-K9, MDS-9148-16, MDS-9148-32, and MDS-9148-48 models. It has been tested for interoperability with these specific switch platforms.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA compliance indicates that this transceiver meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, which governs procurement for U.S. government agencies and certain educational institutions. Compliance ensures the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country, making it eligible for government contracts that require TAA-compliant components.
What is the maximum transmission distance?
This transceiver supports transmission distances up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) over singlemode fiber. The 1310nm wavelength and singlemode fiber combination minimizes signal attenuation over distance, making it suitable for connecting network equipment across campus environments or between nearby data center facilities.
Is this SFP module hot-pluggable?
Yes, this SFP transceiver is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be installed or removed from a compatible switch without powering down the network equipment. This feature allows for maintenance, upgrades, or replacements during normal operation with minimal disruption to network services, though proper electrostatic discharge precautions should always be observed during handling.
