User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This transceiver supports multimode fiber (MMF) optic cables. It's designed for short to medium distance deployments up to 550 meters (0.34 miles) using multimode fiber infrastructure commonly found in enterprise and campus network environments.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this module?
The module supports Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) data transfer rates using the 1000Base-SX standard. This provides up to 10 times faster performance compared to standard Ethernet connections, enabling high-speed data transmission for network backbone and server connectivity applications.
Which networking equipment is this transceiver compatible with?
This transceiver is specifically coded for compatibility with Enterasys networking products. It supports multiple Enterasys series including A-Series, B-Series, C-Series, D-Series, E-Series, G-Series, NAC Series, N-Series, and X-Series equipment. The module is designed to work seamlessly with Enterasys switches and routers that have SFP slots.
What does DOM monitoring provide?
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) provides real-time diagnostic information about the transceiver's operational parameters. This includes monitoring of transmit and receive optical power levels, temperature, and supply voltage. DOM enables network administrators to proactively identify potential issues before they affect network performance and facilitates troubleshooting of fiber optic links.
What is the wavelength specification for this transceiver?
This transceiver operates at an 850nm wavelength, which is standard for 1000Base-SX multimode fiber applications. The 850nm wavelength is optimized for short-wavelength transmission over multimode fiber, providing reliable performance for distances up to 550 meters in enterprise network environments.
Can this transceiver be installed without powering down equipment?
Yes, this transceiver features a hot-swappable design that allows for installation and removal without powering down the networking equipment. This enables maintenance and upgrades during normal business hours without disrupting network operations, providing greater flexibility for network administrators managing enterprise infrastructure.
