FAQ
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this SFP module?
This SFP module is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cable. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data over long distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for connections up to 10 kilometers. Ensure you use LC duplex connectors on the fiber cable for proper interface alignment.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this module?
The module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), which aligns with the Gigabit Ethernet standard. This speed is sufficient for high-bandwidth applications such as data backups, video streaming, and large file transfers over optical networks.
How far can this SFP module transmit data over fiber?
It supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) over single-mode fiber. This reach makes it suitable for connecting network devices across buildings, campuses, or data center rows without requiring signal boosters or repeaters.
What type of connector does this SFP module use?
The module uses an LC duplex connector. LC connectors are small form-factor connectors commonly used in high-density networking environments. The duplex configuration supports separate transmit and receive paths, ensuring full-duplex communication for simultaneous data transmission and reception.
