Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates on the 100Base-BX standard, providing a Fast Ethernet data rate of 100 Mbps over single-mode optical fiber. It uses wavelength-division multiplexing with 1310 nm for transmission and 1550 nm for reception on the same fiber, enabling efficient bidirectional communication. The LC connector interface ensures a secure, low-loss connection compatible with standard fiber patch panels and equipment.
The module's hot-swappable form factor allows for installation and replacement without powering down the host device, minimizing network downtime. With a depth of 2.20 inches (55.88 mm), it fits standard SFP slots in switches, routers, and media converters. Compliance with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications guarantees mechanical and electrical interoperability across a wide range of networking hardware.
