User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum distance this SFP module supports?
This SFP1000ZXST module supports distances up to 70 kilometers (approximately 43.5 miles) over single-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for long-haul network connections between geographically separated locations, such as campus buildings or remote data centers.
What type of fiber connector does this transceiver use?
The module uses an LC duplex connector, which is the industry standard for SFP fiber optic transceivers. The LC connector provides secure fiber termination with low insertion loss, ensuring reliable signal transmission in single-mode fiber installations.
What does Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) provide?
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring enables real-time monitoring of key transceiver parameters including temperature, voltage, laser bias current, and optical power levels. This information is reported to SNMP network management tools, allowing administrators to monitor transceiver health and detect potential issues before they affect network performance.
Is this SFP module compatible with my existing switch?
This is an MSA-compliant uncoded SFP module designed to work with switches and routers that accept standard MSA-compliant transceivers. It has been tested with equipment from Ubiquiti, D-Link, Netgear, Supermicro, TP-Link, and other manufacturers that support uncoded modules. The uncoded design ensures broad compatibility without vendor-specific coding.
What is the warranty coverage for this transceiver?
The SFP1000ZXST comes with a lifetime warranty that covers the module itself for its operational life. This warranty is separate from your switch's OEM warranty and using this module will not void your switch manufacturer's warranty. The warranty is supported by technical advisors available 24/5.
