Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module operates at a maximum data transfer rate of 2.125 Gbps, providing the bandwidth headroom necessary for Gigabit Ethernet traffic with minimal latency. The 1000Base-LX technology ensures compatibility with standard Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers that support SFP interfaces.
The module's single-mode fiber support enables transmission over longer distances with lower signal attenuation compared to multimode alternatives. This makes it particularly valuable for point-to-point links between buildings or across large facilities where maintaining signal integrity is critical.
Key Product Advantages
The AT-SPLX40 combines extended reach with the reliability expected from Allied Telesis networking components. Its hot-swappable design allows for maintenance and upgrades without network downtime, while the single-mode fiber compatibility ensures stable performance over demanding distances.

FAQ
What type of fiber cable does the AT-SPLX40 SFP module require?
The AT-SPLX40 requires single-mode fiber optic cables for optimal performance. Single-mode fiber supports longer transmission distances with lower signal attenuation compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for the module's 40 km maximum reach capability. Ensure your fiber infrastructure uses single-mode cabling with appropriate connectors for reliable connectivity.
What is the maximum distance this SFP module can transmit data?
This SFP module supports data transmission up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across large campuses, between buildings, or in metropolitan area networks where copper cabling would be impractical or insufficient for the required distance.
Is the AT-SPLX40 compatible with non-Allied Telesis networking equipment?
The AT-SPLX40 is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with Allied Telesis products that support SFP uplink connections. While it uses standard SFP form factors and 1000Base-LX technology, optimal performance and reliability are guaranteed only with verified Allied Telesis equipment. For mixed-vendor environments, consult compatibility documentation before deployment.
Can I hot-swap this SFP module while the network equipment is powered on?
Yes, the AT-SPLX40 features a hot-swappable design that allows installation or removal while the host networking device remains operational. This enables maintenance, upgrades, or replacements without requiring network downtime. Always follow proper electrostatic discharge precautions and equipment-specific procedures when handling optical transceivers.
