Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates on the 1000BASE-SX standard, which uses short-wavelength (850 nm) optics over multi-mode fiber. It features an LC duplex connector interface, providing a secure and low-loss connection for fiber optic cables. The module supports Gigabit Ethernet technology, enabling data transfer rates of 1 Gbps with full-duplex operation.
The transceiver is designed for optical fiber media, specifically multi-mode fiber, which is commonly used for shorter-distance connections within buildings or campuses. It includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time performance tracking, though specific monitoring features should be verified with the manufacturer's documentation.
