Deployment / Use Cases
This 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceiver serves as a critical component in network infrastructure requiring extended fiber connectivity. Its 120km reach makes it particularly valuable for connecting separate buildings within a campus, linking data centers across a metropolitan area, or establishing point-to-point connections between remote facilities.
Common deployment scenarios include backbone connections between core switches, uplinks from distribution to core layers, and inter-building links in educational, healthcare, and corporate campuses. The module also supports service provider applications such as connecting central offices to remote terminals or establishing last-mile fiber connections.
Campus Network Backbone
Connect multiple buildings across large campuses while maintaining high-speed Gigabit Ethernet performance and minimizing latency between network segments.
Data Center Interconnect
Establish reliable links between geographically separated data centers for disaster recovery, load balancing, and data replication applications.
Physical Profile
The compact SFP form factor measures just 0.53" wide by 0.49" high by 2.21" deep (13.40mm x 12.50mm x 56.10mm), allowing high-density deployment in switch chassis with limited space. Weighing only 0.59 ounces (16.78 grams), the module adds minimal load to equipment while the durable construction ensures reliable operation in various environmental conditions.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.49" (12.50 mm), 0.53" (13.40 mm), 2.21" (56.10 mm), 0.59 oz (16.78 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
