Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module operates at the OC-48/STM-16 standard, which corresponds to a synchronous transport signal rate of 2.488 Gbps. It uses a single LC duplex port for bidirectional communication over single-mode optical fiber, supporting distances typical of short-reach applications in data center and telecom environments. The module's design ensures compliance with industry standards for optical performance and reliability.
The hot-swappable capability allows network administrators to replace or upgrade modules without powering down the entire system, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Its compact dimensions—0.53" wide, 2.22" deep, and 30 mil high—make it suitable for high-density installations where space is at a premium. The module includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) features for real-time performance tracking, though specific monitoring details should be verified with Cisco documentation.
