Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module operates on Fast Ethernet technology, specifically 100Base-FX, which is optimized for optical fiber media. It uses multi-mode fiber optic cable, which has a thicker diameter to carry light of multiple wavelengths, supporting higher bandwidth and greater information fidelity over extended distances. The module supports a maximum reach of 2 km (1.24 miles), making it ideal for medium-range network extensions.
The physical design is compact and hot-pluggable, with dimensions of 0.33" (8.38 mm) in height, 0.52" (13.21 mm) in width, and 2.18" (55.37 mm) in depth. This small form factor allows for easy installation and replacement without disrupting network operations. The module is compatible with MSA-compliant devices, including the Lantronix Optical Line Converter xFMFF4040-100, and is manufactured in Taiwan with TAA compliance for government and enterprise procurement.
