Product Features
Technical Overview
This transceiver operates on the 10GBASE-LR standard, delivering data rates up to 10 Gbps over single-mode fiber optic cables. It uses an LC duplex connector interface, which is widely adopted for its secure connection and low insertion loss in fiber optic networks. The module supports long-reach transmission typical of LR specifications, making it suitable for connections between buildings or across campus networks.
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology ensures backward compatibility with lower-speed Ethernet standards while providing the bandwidth needed for high-demand applications like server connectivity, storage area networks, and backbone links. The transceiver's design includes built-in digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking and troubleshooting.
