Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates on 100Base-FX network technology, providing a maximum data transfer rate of 100Mbps over single-mode optical fiber. The LC duplex connector interface ensures secure, low-loss connections compatible with standard fiber optic patch panels and cabling systems.
The module is fully compliant with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, guaranteeing mechanical and electrical compatibility with Allied Telesis equipment and other MSA-compliant devices. This compliance eliminates vendor lock-in and provides flexibility in network design and component sourcing.
Key Product Advantages
This transceiver offers several distinct advantages for network administrators seeking reliable fiber optic connectivity. The single-mode fiber support enables longer distance transmissions compared to copper alternatives, while maintaining signal integrity across challenging environments.
Extended Reach
Single-mode fiber compatibility allows network extensions beyond typical copper limitations, ideal for connecting separate buildings or floor-to-floor links without signal degradation.
- Eliminates electromagnetic interference
- Supports longer cable runs
- Maintains data integrity over distance
Standards Compliance
MSA compliance ensures this transceiver works seamlessly with Allied Telesis equipment and other standards-based networking devices, providing deployment flexibility.
- Vendor-agnostic compatibility
- Mechanical interoperability
- Electrical specification adherence
Deployment / Use Cases
The AT-SPFX/40-AX transceiver is specifically designed for extending network connections in enterprise and campus environments where fiber optic infrastructure is present or required. Its 100Mbps throughput makes it suitable for connecting workgroup switches, access points, and network peripherals that don't require gigabit speeds but benefit from fiber's distance and noise immunity.
Common deployment scenarios include linking conference rooms, laboratories, and departmental workgroups to core network switches. The transceiver also serves well in connecting servers to network components across data centers or between buildings, where electrical interference or distance would compromise copper-based connections.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings across campus using existing fiber backbone infrastructure while maintaining 100Mbps connectivity for departmental networks and shared resources.
Data Center Server Links
Establish reliable connections between servers and network switches in environments with high electromagnetic interference where copper cables would be susceptible to signal degradation.

FAQ
What type of fiber optic cable does this SFP transceiver support?
This transceiver supports single-mode optical fiber cables with LC connectors. Single-mode fiber is designed for longer distance transmissions compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for campus-wide or building-to-building network extensions where signal integrity over distance is critical.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Allied Telesis networking equipment?
Yes, the AT-SPFX/40-AX is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, which means it meets industry standards for mechanical and electrical specifications. This compliance ensures interoperability with any networking equipment that accepts MSA-compliant SFP modules, not just Allied Telesis devices, providing flexibility in mixed-vendor environments.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this 100BASE-FX transceiver?
This transceiver supports Fast Ethernet technology with a maximum data transfer rate of 100 megabits per second (100Mbps). The 100Base-FX specification defines this throughput over fiber optic media, making it suitable for workgroup connectivity, peripheral connections, and network extensions where gigabit speeds aren't required but fiber's distance and noise immunity benefits are needed.
What type of connector does this SFP module use for fiber connections?
The transceiver uses LC duplex connectors for fiber optic connections. LC connectors are small form-factor connectors that provide secure, low-loss connections compatible with standard fiber optic patch panels and cabling systems. Their compact size allows for higher port density in networking equipment compared to larger connector types.
