User Manual
FAQ
What is the compatibility of this SFP transceiver?
This AddOn 10056H-AO SFP transceiver is designed for compatibility with Extreme Networks switches and routers. It is a third-party compatible module that meets the 1000Base-BX standard, ensuring interoperability with supported Extreme Networks equipment. Always verify compatibility with your specific switch model before deployment.
What type of fiber and connector does this transceiver use?
The transceiver supports single-mode optical fiber with an LC connector. It uses a bidirectional wavelength scheme (1490nm transmit, 1310nm receive) over a single fiber strand, optimizing fiber utilization. The LC connector is standard for SFP modules, providing a secure and reliable optical interface.
What is the maximum distance this SFP can reach?
This SFP transceiver has a reach distance of up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) over single-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or metropolitan areas without requiring signal repeaters, maintaining data integrity over long distances.
Does this transceiver support DOM monitoring?
Yes, this SFP transceiver includes DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) functionality. DOM provides real-time monitoring of key optical parameters such as transmit power, receive power, temperature, and voltage. This allows network administrators to proactively manage link health and troubleshoot issues without physical inspection.
Is this SFP hot-swappable?
Yes, the transceiver features a hot-swappable form factor. This means you can install, remove, or replace the module while the network switch is powered on and operating, without disrupting other network services. Hot-swappability simplifies maintenance and upgrades, reducing downtime in critical network environments.
What is the operating temperature range?
The SFP transceiver operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. This wide range ensures reliable performance in extreme environments, such as industrial settings, outdoor enclosures, or data centers with variable cooling. The robust design maintains signal integrity across this full temperature spectrum.
