Product Features
Technical Overview
This XFP module operates on the 10GBase-SR standard, which specifies short-reach transmission over multi-mode fiber. It achieves a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s, supporting full-duplex communication for high-bandwidth applications. The module uses an 850 nm wavelength, typical for SR implementations, to transmit data across distances up to 0.30 km (0.19 miles).
The LC duplex connector provides a standardized interface for connecting to fiber optic patch panels, switches, and routers. Multi-mode fiber compatibility makes this module suitable for intra-building and campus-level deployments where cost-effective, high-speed links are required. The module's electrical interface complies with XFP MSA specifications, ensuring interoperability with compliant host devices.
