Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates on the 1000Base-BX standard, which uses single-strand bidirectional transmission over single-mode fiber. It achieves a maximum supported distance of 20 kilometers (12.43 miles), enabling connectivity between geographically dispersed network nodes without intermediate repeaters. The module’s electrical interface complies with SFP MSA specifications, ensuring broad compatibility with industry-standard SFP cages.
Performance is anchored by a 1 Gbit/s data transfer rate, providing a substantial bandwidth upgrade over traditional copper Ethernet. The optical components are calibrated for 1310 nm wavelength operation typical of 1000Base-BX implementations, ensuring efficient light transmission and reception over single-mode fiber cables.
Key Product Advantages
This transceiver offers several distinct advantages for network architects seeking dependable, long-range fiber connectivity. Its design prioritizes operational simplicity, performance consistency, and durability in diverse deployment scenarios.
Extended Reach with Single-Mode Fiber
Leverages single-mode fiber optics to support links up to 20 km, far exceeding the limitations of multimode fiber or copper cabling. This makes it ideal for connecting buildings, campuses, or remote data centers.
- 20 km maximum distance
- Minimal signal loss over long runs
- Ideal for backbone and WAN links
1000Base-BX Bidirectional Efficiency
Uses bidirectional technology on a single fiber strand, reducing cabling costs and complexity compared to dual-fiber solutions. This efficiency is particularly valuable in fiber-constrained installations.
- Single-strand transmission
- Reduces fiber count requirements
- Full-duplex Gigabit performance
Deployment / Use Cases
The Ortronics 7SU-003-A is suited for a range of professional networking applications where reliable, high-speed fiber connectivity is required over medium to long distances. Its compatibility with standard SFP ports allows flexible integration into existing network infrastructure.
Common use cases include extending Gigabit Ethernet links between separate buildings in a campus environment, providing fiber uplinks for access switches in enterprise networks, and establishing point-to-point connections in metropolitan area networks (MANs). It is also effective in data center environments for connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation layers or for inter-cabinet links where electrical isolation and noise immunity are beneficial.
Enterprise Campus Networking
Connect administrative buildings, research facilities, or distribution centers across a campus with a single fiber run, maintaining high bandwidth and low latency for critical applications.
Data Center Interconnects
Establish reliable links between server racks or between data halls, leveraging the module’s immunity to electromagnetic interference and its compact form factor for high-density installations.
Physical Profile
The module features a compact, industry-standard SFP form factor measuring 0.33 inches in height, 0.53 inches in width, and 2.23 inches in depth. This small footprint allows high-port-density deployment in switches and routers without occupying excessive rack space. The housing is designed for robust thermal performance and includes a bail-clasp mechanism for secure insertion and easy, tool-less removal. The RoHS-compliant construction ensures environmental responsibility, free from hazardous substances.
