FAQ
What type of fiber does this SFP transceiver support?
This transceiver supports multi-mode fiber optic cable, which is designed for short to medium distance transmissions. Multi-mode fiber has a thicker core diameter that carries multiple light wavelengths simultaneously, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications within data centers and enterprise networks up to 550 meters.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this module?
The AddOn VE6050T07-AO supports data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) using the 1000Base-SX standard. This provides full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet performance, which is approximately 10 times faster than standard 100Mbps Ethernet connections, significantly improving network throughput for demanding applications.
What does DOM monitoring provide?
Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) provides real-time visibility into key transceiver performance parameters. This includes monitoring of temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, and received optical power. DOM enables network administrators to proactively identify potential issues before they cause network disruptions.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, this SFP transceiver features a hot-swappable design that allows installation or replacement without powering down the network equipment. This capability minimizes network downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or module replacement, making it ideal for mission-critical environments where continuous operation is essential.
What does MSA compliance mean for compatibility?
MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliance means this transceiver meets industry-standard specifications for physical dimensions, electrical interfaces, and communication protocols. This ensures broad compatibility with SFP slots in switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers that adhere to the same MSA standards.
What temperature range does this transceiver support?
This SFP transceiver operates across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. This extended temperature tolerance makes it suitable for deployment in challenging environments, including industrial settings, outdoor enclosures, and data centers with varying climate conditions, ensuring reliable performance in diverse operating environments.
