User Manual
FAQ
What Juniper equipment is this SFP module compatible with?
This SFPGE10KT3R4 module is 100% compatible with Juniper switches and routers that support the SFP-GE10KT13R14 transceiver. It has been specifically designed, programmed, and tested to work with Juniper networking equipment, ensuring reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity without compatibility issues. The module maintains MSA compliance for industry-standard interoperability.
How does the bi-directional WDM technology work in this transceiver?
The bi-directional Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology uses different wavelengths for transmit and receive signals on the same single-mode fiber strand. This allows simultaneous data transmission in both directions over a single fiber, effectively doubling the capacity of existing infrastructure. Traditional fiber connections require separate strands for transmit and receive functions, while this technology consolidates both functions onto one strand.
What type of fiber and connectors does this SFP module support?
This transceiver supports single-mode fiber (SMF) with LC simplex connectors. The module features a single LC interface configured for 1000BASE-BX10-U operation. Single-mode fiber provides longer transmission distances with lower signal loss compared to multimode fiber, making it ideal for campus and metropolitan network applications up to 10 kilometers.
What is the maximum transmission distance supported by this SFP module?
This 1000BASE-BX10-U SFP module supports transmission distances up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber. The BX10 designation in the standard name indicates this 10-kilometer reach capability. This distance makes the module suitable for connecting network equipment across campus environments, between buildings, or in metropolitan area network deployments.
Is this SFP module hot-swappable?
Yes, this transceiver features a hot-swappable SFP form factor that allows installation and replacement without powering down the networking equipment. This design enables maintenance and upgrades during normal business hours without disrupting network operations. The standardized SFP form factor ensures compatibility with any SFP slot on compatible Juniper switches and routers.
What warranty coverage does this SFP transceiver include?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this SFPGE10KT3R4 transceiver module.
