Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000BASE-SX), providing up to 10 times faster data transfer rates compared to standard Ethernet connections. It supports multimode fiber optic cable, which utilizes a thicker diameter to carry multiple wavelengths of light, enabling high bandwidth and greater information fidelity over distances. The LC connector interface ensures secure and efficient optical coupling, reducing insertion loss and maintaining signal integrity.
The module is fully compliant with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, guaranteeing interoperability with Cisco and other MSA-compliant networking devices. It features a single LC port for duplex fiber connections, optimized for short to medium reach applications typical in data centers, enterprise networks, and campus environments. Environmental certifications like RoHS underscore its commitment to reduced hazardous substances, aligning with modern eco-friendly IT practices.
