Product Overview
The WOLON SX SFP Module is a high-performance and cost-effective optical transceiver designed for Gigabit Ethernet and 1G Fibre Channel applications. It is engineered to meet the strict demands of modern data center and enterprise networking environments.
This 1000BASE-SX SFP Transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm using Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology. It provides a reliable connection up to 550 meters over multimode fiber (MMF). Perfectly compliant with the SFP MSA standard, this SFP-SX module is the ideal replacement for major brand transceivers, offering the same performance at a fraction of the cost.

FAQ: About 1000BASE-SX SFP Modules
-
Q: What is the difference between SX and LX SFP?
A: SX (Short Range) uses 850nm wavelength and works with Multimode fiber up to 550m. LX (Long Range) uses 1310nm and works with Singlemode fiber up to 10km.
-
Q: Do I need OM3 or OM4 cable for this module?
A: This SX SFP module works with both. It reaches 220m on OM1, and up to 550m on OM3/OM4.
