FAQ
What Mellanox equipment is this transceiver compatible with?
The MMA2P00-AS-AX transceiver is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with Mellanox switches that support SFP28 modules. It follows MSA compliance standards to ensure proper fit and function in Mellanox networking equipment, providing reliable 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for data center and enterprise environments using Mellanox infrastructure.
What type of fiber optic cable does this transceiver require?
This transceiver requires multi-mode fiber optic cable with LC connectors. It supports the 25GBase-SR standard over multi-mode fiber, which is commonly used for short to medium distance connections in data centers and enterprise networks. The LC interface provides a reliable connection with standard fiber patch cables available from most networking suppliers.
What is the difference between 25GBase-SR and other Ethernet standards?
25GBase-SR is a 25 Gigabit Ethernet standard specifically designed for short-range connections over multi-mode fiber optic cable. Compared to 10GBase-SR, it provides 2.5 times the bandwidth while using similar fiber infrastructure. Unlike copper-based standards, 25GBase-SR uses optical signaling for greater distance capability and immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for data center environments.
Does this transceiver support hot-swapping?
As an SFP28 form factor transceiver, it supports hot-swapping capabilities when used in compatible Mellanox switches. This allows network administrators to install or replace the module without powering down the networking equipment, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Always consult your Mellanox switch documentation for specific hot-swap procedures and compatibility details.
