FAQ
What type of connector does this transceiver use?
This transceiver uses an SC connector, which is a common fiber optic connector type known for its push-pull latching mechanism. The SC connector provides a secure and reliable interface for single-mode fiber cables, ensuring stable optical connections in 10GbE networks. It is widely used in data centers and enterprise environments for its durability and ease of use.
What is the maximum distance supported by this 10GBASE-LR transceiver?
The 10GBASE-LR standard typically supports distances up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber. This transceiver is designed for long-distance applications, making it suitable for extending network links between buildings, across campuses, or in data center interconnects. The actual reach may vary based on fiber quality and network conditions, but it provides reliable performance for most long-range 10GbE deployments.
Is this transceiver compatible with HP networking equipment?
Yes, this transceiver is designed for HP networking equipment and is 100% HP compatible. It is MSA compliant, which ensures interoperability with a wide range of MSA-compliant devices, including HP switches and routers.
