FAQ
What is the compatibility of this SFP transceiver?
This Axiom transceiver is specifically designed for Enterasys I-Series switches and routers, ensuring full compatibility without requiring firmware updates or configuration changes. It is also MSA compliant, which supports interoperability with other MSA-standard networking hardware, though optimal performance is guaranteed with Enterasys I-Series devices.
What type of fiber and connector does this module use?
The module uses single-mode optical fiber with an LC duplex connector. Single-mode fiber is ideal for long-distance transmissions, typically over miles, due to its lower signal attenuation compared to multimode fiber. The LC connector provides a small form factor suitable for high-density port configurations.
What is the network speed and technology supported?
This transceiver supports Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbps using the 1000BASE-LX standard. It is designed for data networking and optical network applications, providing reliable high-speed connectivity for backbone links, server connections, and inter-switch communications in enterprise and data center environments.
Does this SFP module support digital optical monitoring (DOM)?
The module is built to MSA specifications, which typically include support for digital optical monitoring (DOM) capabilities. DOM allows for real-time monitoring of parameters like optical power, temperature, and voltage via the host device's interface. However, the extent of monitoring features depends on the specific Enterasys I-Series equipment and its firmware.
