Product Features
Technical Overview
This transceiver operates at 16 gigabits per second, supporting both Fibre Channel and Ethernet protocols over optical fiber. It utilizes multi-mode fiber (MMF) with an 850nm laser wavelength, achieving a maximum reach of 300 meters. The module is hot-swappable, allowing for installation or replacement without powering down the host device, which minimizes network downtime.
Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities provide real-time visibility into operational parameters such as temperature, voltage, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, and received optical power. This enables proactive network management and troubleshooting.
