Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver features a Gigabit Ethernet interface with full-duplex operation, supporting data rates up to 1.25 Gbps. It utilizes an LC duplex connector for secure fiber termination and is optimized for multimode fiber with a typical wavelength of 850 nm, ensuring efficient light transmission over standard OM1, OM2, or OM3 cabling.
The module is built to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specifications, guaranteeing mechanical and electrical compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment. It includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking, though specific monitoring features depend on the host device's support.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom TN-SFP-SXD-AX offers several advantages for network deployments requiring robust fiber connectivity. Its MSA compliance ensures broad interoperability, reducing compatibility concerns and simplifying procurement for mixed-vendor environments.
High-Performance Fiber Link
Delivers up to 10x faster throughput than standard copper Ethernet, leveraging multimode fiber's high bandwidth to carry more data with greater signal integrity over longer distances without electromagnetic interference.
- Enhanced data fidelity
- Reduced latency
- Superior noise immunity
Eco-Friendly Design
Manufactured with environmentally friendly materials and processes, supporting green IT initiatives without compromising on reliability or performance in demanding network applications.
Deployment / Use Cases
This SFP transceiver is well-suited for various networking scenarios where Gigabit Ethernet over fiber is required. Its multimode design and 1000BASE-SX standard make it a practical choice for short to medium-distance links within buildings or across campuses.
Common use cases include connecting switches in wiring closets, linking servers to storage arrays, and extending network backbones in enterprise offices. It also supports optical network upgrades from older Fast Ethernet systems, providing a straightforward path to higher bandwidth without replacing existing multimode fiber infrastructure.
Data Center Interconnects
Ideal for linking top-of-rack switches to aggregation layers, ensuring high-speed server-to-server communication and efficient data center operations.
Campus Network Aggregation
Used to connect distribution switches across buildings, supporting voice, video, and data traffic with reliable fiber performance over distances up to 550 meters.
Physical Profile
The transceiver has a compact footprint with dimensions of 0.53" wide, 0.49" high, and 2.21" deep (13.40 mm x 12.50 mm x 56.10 mm), weighing approximately 0.59 oz (16.78 g). This small form factor allows high-density installations in switch chassis without obstructing adjacent ports or airflow.
Its standard SFP shape ensures easy insertion and removal with a built-in latching mechanism, while the robust housing protects internal components from dust and physical damage in rack-mounted or desktop environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this SFP transceiver supports?
The Axiom TN-SFP-SXD-AX supports distances up to 550 meters over OM2 multimode fiber, typical for 1000BASE-SX standards. For OM1 fiber, the maximum distance is 275 meters, and for OM3 fiber, it can reach up to 1,000 meters depending on cable quality and network conditions. Always verify with your specific fiber type and installation environment.
Is this transceiver compatible with my existing network switch?
Yes, this transceiver is MSA compliant, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with a wide range of switches and routers from vendors like Transition Networks, Cisco, Juniper, and others that support standard SFP slots. However, some equipment may require vendor-specific coding; check your device's compatibility list or use it in MSA-only mode if available.
Does this SFP module support digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM)?
The module includes DDM capabilities as per MSA standards, allowing monitoring of parameters like temperature, voltage, and optical power levels. However, full functionality depends on your host device's support. Most modern managed switches can read these diagnostics for proactive network management and troubleshooting.
Can I use this transceiver with singlemode fiber?
No, this transceiver is specifically designed for multimode fiber (MMF) and operates at 850 nm wavelength. Using it with singlemode fiber (SMF) will not work due to core diameter and wavelength mismatches. For singlemode applications, consider a 1000BASE-LX or other SMF-compatible SFP module.
