Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds using the 1000BASE-LX standard, which is optimized for long-wavelength transmission over single-mode fiber. The single LC port supports full-duplex communication, enabling simultaneous data send and receive operations for efficient network throughput.
The module is engineered for optical fiber media, specifically single-mode fiber, which uses a single wavelength of light to carry data over miles with minimal signal degradation. This makes it ideal for backbone connections, campus networks, and data center interconnects where distance and reliability are critical.
Key Product Advantages
These SFP transceivers offer several advantages for network deployments requiring high-speed, long-distance fiber connectivity. The 8-pack provides cost-effective scalability for multi-port installations, reducing per-unit costs and simplifying inventory management.
Brocade Compatibility
Designed for seamless integration with Brocade networking equipment, ensuring reliable performance and reducing compatibility concerns in Brocade-based environments.
- MSA compliant
- Hot-pluggable design
Long-Distance Performance
Single-mode fiber support enables data transmission over extended distances, making these transceivers suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network segments.
- Low signal loss
- Stable connectivity
Deployment / Use Cases
These SFP transceivers are ideal for various networking scenarios that require Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optic infrastructure. Their single-mode fiber compatibility makes them particularly valuable for long-haul connections where copper cabling would be impractical or insufficient.
Common use cases include uplinks between switches in different buildings, data center interconnects, metropolitan area network (MAN) links, and backbone connections for enterprise networks. The 8-pack format supports deployments requiring multiple transceivers, such as populating switch line cards or equipping redundant links in high-availability configurations.
Physical Profile
The transceiver has a compact form factor measuring 0.53" wide, 0.49" high, and 2.21" deep (13.40 mm x 12.50 mm x 56.10 mm), with an approximate weight of 4.74 oz (134.26 g) per module. This small size allows high-density installations in switch chassis without occupying excessive rack space. The standard SFP footprint ensures compatibility with any MSA-compliant SFP slot.

FAQ
What is the speed and standard of this SFP transceiver?
This transceiver operates at Gigabit Ethernet speed (1 Gbps) using the 1000BASE-LX standard. 1000BASE-LX is specifically designed for long-wavelength transmission over single-mode fiber optic cabling, supporting reliable data transfer across extended network distances.
What type of fiber and connector does this module support?
The module supports single-mode fiber optic cabling with an LC connector interface. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data with minimal signal loss over miles, while the LC connector provides a secure, small-form-factor connection that's widely used in fiber optic networking.
Is this SFP transceiver compatible with Brocade equipment?
Yes, this transceiver is designed for Brocade-compatible networking environments. It is Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) compliant, which ensures interoperability with Brocade switches and other MSA-compliant hardware. The hot-pluggable design allows for easy installation without powering down the network device.
How many transceivers are included in this pack?
This product includes eight SFP transceivers in a single pack. The 8-pack format provides cost-effective scalability for deployments requiring multiple modules, such as populating switch line cards, establishing redundant links, or equipping multiple network devices in a Brocade environment.
