User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP transceiver?
This transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 4 gigabits per second (4Gbps) using 4GBase-LW technology. This provides sufficient bandwidth for aggregating multiple lower-speed connections or supporting bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming or large file transfers over optical networks.
What type of fiber and connector does this module use?
The module is designed for singlemode fiber optic cables with LC duplex connectors. Singlemode fiber supports longer distance transmission (up to 10 km) with lower signal loss compared to multimode, while the LC connector offers precise alignment and high port density in networking equipment.
What is the maximum transmission distance?
This transceiver can transmit data up to 10 kilometers over singlemode fiber. This reach makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across campus buildings, between data centers, or in other medium-distance applications where copper cabling would be impractical or insufficient.
Is this transceiver compatible with Cisco ONS equipment?
Yes, this AddOn transceiver is specifically designed to be compatible with Cisco ONS 15454 platforms, including the 8-Port Enhanced Data Muxponder Cards (15454-10DME-C and 15454-10DME-L). It meets MSA standards for interoperability, ensuring reliable performance in these environments.
Does this SFP support digital diagnostics monitoring?
Yes, the transceiver includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities. This allows network administrators to monitor real-time parameters such as temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, and transmitted/received optical power, enabling proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.
What compliance standards does this transceiver meet?
This transceiver is MSA compliant, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard SFP slots. It is also TAA compliant, meaning it meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act for procurement by U.S. government agencies and other regulated entities that require TAA-compliant products.
