User Manual
FAQ
What networking equipment is this SFP module compatible with?
This SFP module is specifically designed, programmed, and tested for 100% compatibility with Extreme Networks 10056H switches and routers. It is MSA compliant, which generally ensures interoperability with other MSA-compliant networking equipment, but optimal performance is guaranteed with compatible Extreme Networks hardware.
What is the difference between 1000BASE-BX-D and standard fiber connections?
1000BASE-BX-D uses wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology to transmit and receive data bi-directionally over a single strand of fiber optic cable. Standard fiber connections typically require two separate fiber strands—one for transmission and one for reception. The BX-D technology effectively doubles your fiber infrastructure capacity by using a single strand for both directions.
What type of fiber cable does this SFP module require?
This module requires single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cable with LC connectors. Single-mode fiber supports longer distance transmission with minimal signal loss compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for campus and data center applications where extended reach is needed.
Is this SFP module hot-swappable?
Yes, this SFP module features a hot-swappable form factor, allowing you to install or replace the module without powering down your networking equipment. This enables maintenance and upgrades without network downtime, which is crucial for enterprise environments requiring continuous operation.
What environmental certifications does this product have?
This SFP module complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) standards. These certifications ensure the product meets environmental safety requirements and responsible manufacturing practices.
What warranty coverage is provided with this SFP module?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this SFP module, offering long-term protection against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty reflects the product's reliability and durability for critical networking applications where consistent performance is essential.
