FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This AddOn 320-2881-AO transceiver supports multimode optical fiber (MMF) with 850nm wavelength. It is designed specifically for use with multimode fiber cabling, which is commonly deployed in enterprise networks for distances up to 550 meters. The module is not compatible with singlemode fiber systems.
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this transceiver?
The transceiver supports 1000Base-SX network technology, delivering data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second). This provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity that is approximately 10 times faster than standard 100 Mbps Ethernet connections, enabling high-performance data transmission between network switches, routers, and servers.
What does DOM monitoring provide?
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) provides real-time diagnostic information about the transceiver's performance. This includes monitoring of optical power levels, temperature, voltage, and laser bias current. Network administrators can use this data to troubleshoot connection issues, verify link quality, and proactively maintain network reliability without physical inspection of the fiber connections.
What is the maximum distance this transceiver can cover?
This SFP transceiver has a maximum reach of 550 meters (approximately 1804 feet) over multimode optical fiber. This distance makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across different buildings on a campus or between floors in large office buildings while maintaining full Gigabit Ethernet performance.
Is this transceiver hot-pluggable?
Yes, this SFP transceiver features a hot-pluggable design that allows installation or removal while the network equipment is powered on and operational. This capability minimizes network downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or replacement of transceivers, as you don't need to power down switches or routers to add or remove modules.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this transceiver meets the requirements of the U.S. government's Trade Agreements Act, which mandates that products acquired by federal agencies must be manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or designated countries. This compliance makes the product eligible for government procurement and public sector contracts that require TAA-compliant networking equipment.
