Add-On OC12-SFP-MM-AO Multimode SFP Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On OC12-SFP-MM-AO is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module designed for high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber optic cables. It enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity for network devices, providing a reliable link for data center interconnects, enterprise networks, and surveillance backbones. This module supports LC duplex connectors, facilitating standard fiber optic patching. The OC12-SFP-MM-AO is engineered for environments where short-reach, high-bandwidth fiber links are required.

Compatibility

This transceiver is compatible with networking equipment supporting SFP+ (10Gbps) interfaces, including switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers. It is designed to meet MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards, ensuring broad interoperability. Specific compatibility is confirmed with Brocade (now Broadcom) networking hardware, supporting their OC-12 Fiber Channel and 10GbE product lines. Always verify specific device compatibility with your network equipment vendor.

Installation Notes

Install the OC12-SFP-MM-AO module into an available SFP+ slot on your network device. Ensure the device is powered off before insertion or removal. Connect the multimode fiber optic cable (e.g., OM3 or OM4) to the LC duplex connector on the module. Avoid excessive force when inserting or removing the module. The operating temperature range is critical for sustained performance; consult the manufacturer's documentation for specific environmental limits.
