Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module operates on the 1000Base-LX standard, which is optimized for long-wavelength (1310 nm) transmission over single-mode fiber. It achieves a maximum supported distance of 10 kilometers (6.21 miles), enabling network segments to span across buildings or campuses without intermediate repeaters. The module's electrical interface complies with Gigabit Ethernet specifications, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of SFP-enabled switches, routers, and media converters.
The physical design adheres to the SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) for dimensions and electrical characteristics, guaranteeing mechanical fit and functional compatibility. It includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking, though specific monitoring features should be verified with the equipment manufacturer. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing installation or replacement without powering down the network device, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
