Product Features
Technical Overview
This transceiver operates on the 1000BASE-EX standard, which is optimized for long-reach single-mode fiber deployments. It features one LC optical port, providing a duplex fiber interface for bidirectional Gigabit Ethernet traffic.
The module supports single-mode fiber, which uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data over miles with minimal signal loss. This makes it suitable for backbone links, campus networks, and other scenarios where distance and signal integrity are priorities.
Relevant factors for this section include Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Connector Type, Interfaces/Ports Details. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What is the primary use of this SFP transceiver?
The Axiom SFP-504-AX is a 1000BASE-EX SFP transceiver designed for Gigamon network visibility platforms. It provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber, enabling extended-distance links for data networking and optical network applications such as traffic monitoring, analysis, and backbone connections.
What type of fiber connector does this module use?
This transceiver uses an LC duplex connector for optical fiber connections. The LC interface is compact and widely adopted in networking equipment, providing reliable fiber termination for single-mode cables in data center and enterprise environments.
Is this SFP module compatible with non-Gigamon equipment?
While specifically validated for Gigamon platforms, the transceiver is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant. This means it should interoperate with any networking device that supports standard 1000BASE-EX SFP modules, though compatibility should be verified with the equipment manufacturer for optimal performance.
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber for this transceiver?
This module supports single-mode fiber only. Single-mode fiber uses a smaller core and a single wavelength of light, allowing data transmission over longer distances (miles) with less signal loss compared to multimode fiber. It is ideal for backbone links, campus networks, and other extended-reach applications.
