User Manual
FAQ
What is the speed and technology of this SFP transceiver?
This transceiver supports 4 Gigabit Ethernet (4GbE) using the 4GBase-LW Fibre Channel standard. It delivers a maximum data transfer rate of 4 Gbps over singlemode optical fiber, providing high-performance connectivity for storage area networks.
What type of fiber and connector does this module use?
It is designed for singlemode fiber optic cables and features an LC duplex connector. The LC interface ensures secure, low-loss connections compatible with standard fiber patch panels and infrastructure.
What is the maximum transmission distance?
The transceiver achieves a reach of up to 4 kilometers (approximately 2.5 miles) over singlemode fiber. This extended distance supports connections between switches and storage devices across data centers or campus environments.
Is this transceiver compatible with Cisco switches?
Yes, it is compatible with Cisco MDS 9000 series switches, including models like the MDS 9134, MDS 9513, and others listed in the specifications. It is MSA compliant, ensuring interoperability with a range of Fibre Channel platforms.
What is the operating wavelength and fiber mode?
It operates at a 1310nm wavelength and supports singlemode fiber only. Singlemode fiber uses a single light path for data transmission, enabling longer distances and higher bandwidth compared to multimode fiber in this application.
Does this transceiver include warranty and compliance certifications?
