FAQ
What is the maximum distance this SFP+ module supports?
This module supports distances up to 20 kilometers (12.43 miles) over single-mode fiber when used with the 10GBase-LR20 standard. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across campus backbones, between data center buildings, or in metropolitan area network deployments where fiber runs span multiple kilometers without requiring signal regeneration.
Is this module compatible with Juniper switches and routers?
Yes, this SFP+ module is specifically coded for Juniper networking equipment, ensuring reliable operation within Juniper's ecosystem. It is designed to be hot-pluggable into compatible SFP+ ports on Juniper switches, routers, and other devices that support 10GBase-LR20 optics, providing a plug-and-play solution that minimizes compatibility risks and simplifies deployment.
What type of fiber connector does this module use?
This module uses LC duplex connectors, which are standard for SFP+ optical transceivers. The LC connector provides precise alignment for single-mode fiber, ensuring optimal signal transmission with low insertion loss. The duplex configuration supports separate transmit and receive paths, enabling full-duplex 10 Gbps communication over two fibers.
Does this module support single-mode or multimode fiber?
This module is designed exclusively for single-mode fiber operation. It uses 1310 nm wavelength optics optimized for single-mode fiber's smaller core diameter, which enables the extended 20 km reach with minimal signal attenuation. It is not compatible with multimode fiber, which has different optical characteristics and shorter distance capabilities.
