Product Features
Technical Overview
The SFP2GISXFIN-AX operates on multi-mode optical fiber, utilizing 850 nm shortwave technology to transmit data efficiently. It supports Gigabit Ethernet and 2 Gigabit Ethernet standards, along with Fiber Channel for storage area networks, making it versatile for mixed-environment deployments.
Key technical specifications include two ports with LC connectors, one dedicated to 1000Base-SX network connections and the other to Fiber Channel. The transceiver achieves a maximum distance of 0.50 km (0.31 miles), ideal for intra-building or campus-level fiber runs without signal degradation.
Key Product Advantages
This SFP transceiver combines dual-protocol support with high-speed performance, reducing the need for multiple transceivers in complex network setups. Its MSA compliance guarantees broad compatibility, while the durable LC connectors ensure secure and stable fiber connections.
Dual-Protocol Efficiency
Supports both 1000BASE-SX Ethernet and 1/2-Gbps Fiber Channel, enabling flexible deployment in data networking and storage environments without additional hardware.
- Eliminates need for separate transceivers
- Simplifies network architecture
Reliable Fiber Performance
Utilizes multi-mode fiber with shortwave technology to minimize signal loss over distances up to 0.5 km, ensuring consistent data transfers for critical applications.
- Reduces latency and packet loss
- Enhances network reliability
Deployment / Use Cases
The Axiom SFP2GISXFIN-AX is ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel networks across data centers, enterprise campuses, and storage facilities. Its ability to handle both protocols makes it suitable for converged infrastructure where Ethernet and storage traffic coexist.
