FAQ
What is the speed of this SFP transceiver?
This Axiom SFP transceiver operates at Gigabit Ethernet speed, supporting data transmission rates up to 1 Gbps. It uses the 1000BASE-SX standard for fiber optic connectivity, making it suitable for high-speed network links in data center and enterprise environments.
What type of fiber does this transceiver support?
The 88Y6062-AX transceiver supports multi-mode optical fiber. Multi-mode fiber is commonly used for shorter distance connections within buildings or campuses, typically up to 550 meters depending on fiber grade and network configuration.
Is this SFP module compatible with non-IBM equipment?
While designed specifically for IBM environments, this transceiver is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant. MSA compliance generally ensures interoperability with other manufacturers' equipment that also adheres to MSA standards, though compatibility should always be verified with specific switch or router documentation.
What connector type does this SFP use?
This transceiver uses an LC duplex connector, which is the industry standard for SFP optical modules. The LC connector provides a secure, small-form-factor connection for fiber optic cables and is widely used in high-density networking applications.
