FAQ
What is the data transfer speed of this SFP module?
This Transition Networks SFP module supports 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet technology, delivering data transfer rates up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps). It is designed for networks requiring reliable fiber optic connectivity at Fast Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for backbone links or connections where copper cabling is not feasible.
What type of fiber connector does this module use?
The module features a single LC duplex connector interface. LC connectors are widely used in fiber optic networking for their compact size and reliable performance, providing secure connections with low insertion loss. This connector type is compatible with standard LC fiber patch cables for easy integration into existing infrastructure.
Is this SFP module compatible with Cisco switches?
Yes, this module is Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA) compliant and specifically listed as compatible with Cisco Catalyst 2970, 3560, and 3750 series switches. MSA compliance ensures it meets industry standards for form factor and electrical interfaces, allowing it to work with a broad range of MSA-compliant network devices beyond the listed Cisco models.
What is the difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber support?
This SFP module supports multi-mode fiber, which is optimized for shorter distance transmissions typically under 2 kilometers. Multi-mode fiber has a larger core diameter than single-mode, allowing multiple light modes to propagate. It is cost-effective for intra-building or campus applications, whereas single-mode fiber is used for longer distances exceeding 2 km.
