📊 Key Specifications
Standard: Complies with IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX optical Ethernet.
Data Rate: Up to 1.25 Gbps (suitable for Gigabit Ethernet).
Wavelength: 850 nm (optimized for multimode fiber).
Fiber Type: Multimode Fiber (MMF) — usually OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4.
Maximum Reach: Up to ≈550 m over multimode fiber.
Connector: Duplex LC optical connector for both transmit and receive.
Form Factor: Hot-pluggable SFP (mini-GBIC) — install or replace without powering down the device.
Power Consumption: Typically ≤ 1.5 W, low for high-density installations.
Monitoring: May support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time optical performance data.
📡 Features & Benefits
✔ Short-Range Multimode Fiber Link: Ideal for connections within buildings, campuses, or rack-to-rack links up to ~550 m.
✔ Standard Compliance: Meets IEEE, SFP MSA, and RoHS standards for broad compatibility and safety.
✔ Hot-Swappable: Allows easy installation or replacement without system downtime.
✔ Low Power: Efficient operation makes it suitable for dense switch/stack configurations.
📍 Typical Use Cases
Fiber uplinks between switches and network aggregation points.
Server-to-switch connections in data center racks.
Campus network backbone links over multimode fiber.
⚠️ Important Notes
Ensure that your network device supports SFP modules and matches the 1000BASE-SX/850 nm multimode fiber profile before installation.
This transceiver is not for single-mode fiber — a different SFP (like LX or LH) is needed for long-distance single-mode links.
