User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This transceiver supports multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cable. It is designed for use with standard multimode fiber, typically with core diameters like 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns, and operates at a 1310nm wavelength, which is common for short to medium-distance multimode applications.
What is the maximum distance supported by this transceiver?
The maximum supported distance is 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) over multimode fiber. This reach makes it suitable for extending network connections across buildings, campuses, or within large facilities where copper cabling would be insufficient due to distance limitations or signal degradation.
What does MSA compliant mean for this SFP module?
MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant means the transceiver meets industry-standard specifications for form factor, electrical interface, and optical performance. This ensures interoperability with networking equipment from various manufacturers that support MSA-compliant SFP slots, reducing compatibility issues and simplifying integration into existing network infrastructure.
Can this transceiver operate in extreme temperatures?
Yes, it has an industrial temperature rating of -40 to 85°C. This wide range allows reliable operation in harsh or variable environments, such as outdoor enclosures, industrial settings, or uncontrolled spaces where standard commercial-grade transceivers might fail due to thermal stress.
What is the data transfer rate of this SFP module?
The data transfer rate is 100 Mbit/s, based on the 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet technology. This provides sufficient bandwidth for legacy network upgrades, backbone links, or applications requiring stable, medium-speed fiber connectivity without the need for higher-speed Gigabit infrastructure.
Is this transceiver suitable for government procurement?
Yes, it is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it appropriate for government and institutional purchases that require adherence to trade agreement regulations. Combined with MSA compliance and a lifetime warranty, it meets the reliability and regulatory standards often demanded in public-sector networking projects.
