FAQ
What is the speed and Ethernet standard of this SFP transceiver?
This transceiver operates at Gigabit Ethernet speed (1 Gbps) using the 1000BASE-SX standard. It is designed for high-speed data networking over multi-mode fiber optic cables, providing reliable performance for backbone or uplink connections in Allied Telesis networks.
What type of fiber and connector does this module support?
It supports multi-mode fiber optic cabling with an LC duplex connector. Multi-mode fiber is commonly used for shorter to medium-distance links (typically up to 550 meters for 1000BASE-SX), and the LC connector offers a secure, small-form-factor interface for efficient fiber termination.
Is this transceiver compatible with my Allied Telesis switch?
Yes, the AT-SPSX/I-AX is MSA compliant and specifically coded for Allied Telesis equipment. It is designed to work with Allied Telesis switches and routers that have SFP slots, but always verify compatibility with your specific model, as some devices may require vendor-specific coding or firmware.
What does 'industrial' mean for this SFP transceiver?
The industrial designation indicates that this transceiver is built to withstand harsher environmental conditions than standard commercial modules. It typically offers enhanced tolerance to temperature extremes, vibration, humidity, and dust, making it suitable for use in manufacturing, outdoor, or other demanding installations where reliability is critical.
