Short Product Highlights
- 1G Long-Reach SFP for SMF — 1550 nm, up to 80 km.
- Duplex LC connector with DFB laser and DOM diagnostics.
- Hot-pluggable, +3.3V, MSA-compatible — OEM replacement for GLC-ZX-SM.
1. Product Description
1550nm SFP module,This is a Cisco-compatible 1.25 Gb/s SFP transceiver implementing the 1000BASE-ZX standard. It utilizes a 1550 nm DFB transmitter and a duplex LC connector to achieve extended reach over single-mode fiber, commonly rated for distances up to 80 km. The module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DOM/DDM) via an I²C interface, complies with the SFP MSA, and operates on a single +3.3V power supply with low power consumption. Its hot-swappable nature makes it a direct replacement for OEM modules in switches and routers requiring long-haul Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
2. Key Features
- Long-Reach Connectivity: Designed for single-mode fiber links with a typical transmission distance of up to 80 km, ideal for backbone and metro applications.
- 1550 nm DFB Laser: Features a high-performance Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser transmitter for stable and reliable signal integrity over long hauls.
- Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM): Provides real-time monitoring of temperature, optical power, and other key parameters, as defined by the SFF-8472 standard.
- Hot-Pluggable SFP Form Factor: MSA-compliant design allows for easy installation and removal without powering down the host equipment.
- Low Power Consumption: Operates on a single +3.3V supply with typical power dissipation under 1 Watt.
- Extended Temperature Options: Available in both commercial and extended/industrial temperature variants to suit various operating environments.
