Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates at 1Gbps data rates using 1000BASE-BX-D technology, which employs wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) to enable bi-directional communication over a single fiber strand. The module supports single-mode fiber (SMF) for long-distance transmission capabilities, making it suitable for campus networks, data center interconnects, and metropolitan area network applications.
The hot-swappable SFP (mini-GBIC) form factor allows for easy installation and replacement without powering down network equipment, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliance ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with industry-standard SFP slots, while the LC connector interface provides reliable, low-loss connections in high-density networking environments.
Relevant factors for this section include Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Connector Type, Interfaces/Ports Details. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
