FAQ
What is the maximum distance this transceiver supports?
The TL-SM7110-SR supports a maximum distance of 150 meters (492.13 feet) over 50/125 µm multimode fiber. This reach is typical for 40GBASE-SR4 applications using OM3 or OM4 fiber cabling, making it suitable for data center and enterprise network deployments within buildings or across campus environments.
Is this transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, this transceiver features a hot-swappable form factor. This allows you to install or replace the module without powering down the network device, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance in live network environments. Always follow proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling.
Does it support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)?
Yes, the transceiver includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) functionality. This enables real-time monitoring of key optical parameters such as temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, and transmitted/received optical power. DDM aids in proactive network management and troubleshooting through the OMCI protocol.
What type of fiber and connector does it use?
This transceiver uses an MPO connector for parallel optical interfaces and is designed for multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength, which is standard for short-reach multimode applications, ensuring compatibility with common OM3/OM4 fiber cabling in data centers.
