FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP transceiver?
This AddOn SFP transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) using 1000Base-LX technology. It is designed for Gigabit Ethernet networks, providing high-speed connectivity suitable for data-intensive applications like server connections and network backbones.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this transceiver?
The transceiver is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cables. Single-mode fiber uses a single wavelength of light (1310nm in this case) to transmit data over long distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for reaches up to 20 kilometers as supported by this module.
What does DOM monitoring provide on this SFP module?
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) enables real-time tracking of key transceiver parameters, including optical power levels, temperature, and voltage. This allows network administrators to monitor performance, detect potential issues early, and perform proactive maintenance to ensure reliable network operation.
Is this SFP transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, this transceiver features a hot-swappable form factor. This means you can install or replace the module in a compatible SFP slot without powering down the network device, minimizing disruption to network services and supporting continuous operation in critical environments.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this transceiver meets U.S. government procurement standards, including requirements for manufacturing or substantial transformation in designated countries. This makes it suitable for purchase by federal agencies, educational institutions, and other entities subject to TAA regulations.
What is the operating temperature range of this transceiver?
The transceiver operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. This extended range ensures stable performance in various environmental conditions, from cold storage facilities to hot data center racks, without compromising connectivity or data integrity.
