FAQ
What type of fiber optic cable does this SFP module support?
The Ortronics AT-SPEX-A Allied SFP Module supports single-mode fiber optic cables. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data over longer distances with minimal signal loss compared to multimode fiber, making it ideal for connections up to 10 kilometers.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP transceiver?
This SFP module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second) using 1000Base-LX network technology. This provides ten times the throughput of standard 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connections, enabling high-speed data transmission for bandwidth-intensive network applications.
How far can this SFP module transmit data over fiber optic cable?
The transceiver supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) over single-mode fiber optic cable. This extended reach capability allows network connections between geographically separated buildings or across large campus environments without requiring signal regeneration equipment.
What type of connector does this SFP module use?
This SFP module features an LC duplex connector. The LC connector is a small form-factor fiber optic connector that provides secure, low-loss connections for single-mode fiber cables. The duplex configuration supports both transmit and receive fibers in a single compact interface.
