Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP+ module operates at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, utilizing the 10GBase-SR standard to achieve data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over multimode optical fiber. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation and replacement without powering down the Firebox T80 appliance, which minimizes network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
It supports multimode fiber optic cabling, which is characterized by a thicker core diameter that carries multiple light wavelengths. This design enables high bandwidth transmission with greater signal fidelity over shorter to medium distances typical in data center and enterprise campus environments. The module's optical interface ensures minimal signal loss and durable performance, even in electrically noisy conditions where copper cables might be susceptible to interference.
