User Manual
FAQ
What equipment is this SFP module compatible with?
This SFP module is 100% compatible with Extreme Networks switches and routers that support the 10057H transceiver. It has been specifically designed, programmed, and tested to work with compatible Extreme Networks hardware, ensuring reliable 1GbE connectivity. The MSA compliant design provides additional assurance of interoperability with standards-compliant networking equipment.
What type of fiber does this transceiver support?
This transceiver supports single-mode fiber (SMF) using the 1000BASE-BX-U standard. Single-mode fiber is designed for longer distance transmissions with lower signal loss compared to multimode fiber. The module operates at 1310nm wavelength for upstream transmission and 1490nm for downstream transmission over a single fiber strand.
What is the difference between 1000BASE-BX-U and standard SFP modules?
1000BASE-BX-U is a bi-directional standard that enables transmission and reception over a single strand of fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Standard SFP modules typically require two fiber strands (one for transmit, one for receive). The BX-U standard effectively doubles fiber utilization by using different wavelengths for upstream and downstream communication on the same strand.
Is this module hot-swappable?
Yes, this SFP module features a hot-swappable form factor that allows installation and removal without powering down the networking equipment. This enables maintenance and upgrades without disrupting network operations. The module can be inserted into compatible SFP ports while the switch or router remains operational.
What environmental certifications does this product have?
This SFP module complies with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) regulations. These certifications ensure the product meets international standards for hazardous substance restrictions and responsible electronic waste management throughout its lifecycle.
What warranty coverage is provided with this transceiver?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this SFP transceiver module. This comprehensive warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term reliability assurance for network infrastructure investments. The warranty demonstrates confidence in the product's quality and durability for continuous operation in networking environments.
