Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module implements 1000Base-ZX Gigabit Ethernet technology, optimized for single-mode fiber applications over extended distances. It operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm, which is standard for long-reach ZX implementations, though specific reach distance should be verified against your fiber type and network design. The module supports full-duplex operation at 1 Gbit/s, providing ample bandwidth for data-intensive networking tasks.
The electrical interface complies with SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard SFP slots. It supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking of parameters like temperature, voltage, and optical power, though exact monitoring features depend on the host device's implementation. The module is designed for low power consumption and stable operation in typical networking environments.

FAQ
What is the compatibility of this SFP module?
This Ortronics SFP module is designed to be compatible with Alcatel-Lucent networking equipment that supports standard SFP transceivers. It uses the manufacturer part number 3HE00029AA-160-A and implements 1000Base-ZX Gigabit Ethernet technology. For specific compatibility with your switch or router model, consult your equipment's documentation or verify with the manufacturer, as compatibility can depend on firmware versions and hardware revisions.
What type of fiber and connectors does this module use?
The module supports optical fiber media and is configured for use with single-mode fiber, which is typical for 1000Base-ZX applications. It features LC duplex connectors, the industry standard for SFP fiber optic connections. You'll need appropriate LC duplex patch cables with single-mode fiber to connect this module to your network infrastructure. The 1550 nm wavelength operation is optimized for long-distance transmissions over single-mode fiber.
What is the data transfer rate and network technology?
This SFP module supports Gigabit Ethernet technology with a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s (1000 Mbps). It implements the 1000Base-ZX network standard, which is designed for extended-reach connections over single-mode fiber optic cable. This provides significantly higher performance compared to standard copper Ethernet, with the added benefits of fiber's immunity to electromagnetic interference and ability to cover greater distances without signal degradation.
Does this SFP module support digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM)?
The module is built to SFP MSA specifications, which typically include support for digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities. This allows the host device to monitor real-time parameters such as temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, and transmitted/received optical power. However, the exact implementation and accessibility of these monitoring features depend on your specific networking equipment's firmware and management interface. Consult your switch or router documentation for details on DDM support.
