FAQ
What type of fiber cable does this SFP+ transceiver support?
This transceiver supports multimode fiber optic cabling. Multimode fiber has a thicker core diameter that carries multiple light wavelengths, making it suitable for high-bandwidth, short to medium distance applications typical in data centers and enterprise networks.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-WatchGuard devices?
While designed for WatchGuard compatibility, this transceiver is MSA compliant, meaning it adheres to industry standards for SFP+ modules. It may work in other MSA-compliant SFP+ slots, but optimal performance and full feature support are guaranteed only with WatchGuard equipment.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this module?
This SFP+ transceiver supports data transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second (10Gbps) using the 10GBase-SR standard. This enables high-speed networking for bandwidth-intensive tasks like data replication, video streaming, and large file transfers over optical fiber.
Does this transceiver require external power?
No, this SFP+ transceiver is powered directly through the SFP+ slot on the host device, such as a switch, router, or firewall. It draws minimal power, making it energy-efficient and simplifying deployment without additional power cables or adapters.
