Deployment / Use Cases
This SFP transceiver is engineered for scenarios requiring extended network reach over fiber optic infrastructure, particularly where bidirectional communication and monitoring capabilities are essential.
Common deployment environments include campus networks connecting buildings, data center interconnects between racks or floors, and service provider networks delivering last-mile connectivity. The 10km reach makes it suitable for metropolitan area network extensions where copper Ethernet limitations apply.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network equipment across separate buildings within a campus or industrial park, leveraging single-mode fiber's distance capabilities and the transceiver's 10km reach.
Data Center Interconnects
Link switches and routers across data center floors or between nearby facilities, utilizing the hot-swappable design for maintenance flexibility and DOM for link health monitoring.
Physical Profile
The compact SFP form factor measures 0.88" in height, 5.25" in width, and 2" in depth, with a weight of approximately 6.40 ounces. This standardized size ensures compatibility with SFP slots in network switches, routers, and media converters from various manufacturers.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.88" (22.23 mm), 5.25" (133.35 mm), 2" (50.80 mm), 6.40 oz (181.44 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
