FAQ
What is the maximum distance this SFP transceiver supports?
This 1000Base-SX SFP transceiver supports distances up to 550 meters over multimode fiber (MMF). The actual achievable distance may vary based on fiber quality, connector cleanliness, and switch capabilities, but 550 meters represents the specification maximum under ideal conditions with 50/125μm or 62.5/125μm multimode fiber.
Which HP ProCurve switches is this transceiver compatible with?
This transceiver is compatible with numerous HP ProCurve switch series including the 1400, 1700, 1800, 2510, 2600, 2610, 2810, 2900, 3400cl, 3500yl, 4200vl, 5300xl, 5400zl, 6108, 6200yl, 8100fl, 8212zl, and 9300m series. It has been tested for electrical and optical compliance with these platforms to ensure reliable operation in production environments.
What does DOM monitoring provide?
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) provides real-time access to transceiver operational parameters including temperature, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, and received optical power. This enables network administrators to monitor link health, detect potential issues before they cause outages, and troubleshoot connectivity problems without physically inspecting the fiber or transceiver.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, this SFP transceiver features a hot-swappable design that allows installation or removal while the networking equipment is powered on and operational. This capability minimizes service disruption during maintenance, upgrades, or reconfiguration, as switches do not need to be powered down to add, replace, or relocate transceivers.
What type of fiber and connector does this transceiver use?
This transceiver uses multimode fiber (MMF) with LC duplex connectors. It operates at an 850nm wavelength, which is standard for short-wavelength multimode applications. The LC connector interface is widely adopted in enterprise environments for its compact size and reliable performance with standard LC-LC fiber patch cables.
What warranty does this transceiver include?
This transceiver includes a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer. The product is also manufactured in the United States and complies with TAA (Trade Agreements Act) requirements, making it suitable for U.S. federal government procurement and other regulated environments that mandate specific sourcing criteria.
