Add-On SFP-FE-LX-SM1310-AO SFP Module

Overview

The Add-On SFP-FE-LX-SM1310-AO is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed to extend network connectivity over single-mode fiber optic cable. This module is essential for bridging network segments where distances exceed the capabilities of copper cabling, commonly deployed in enterprise networks, data centers, and surveillance backbones requiring reliable, long-range data transmission. The SFP-FE-LX-SM1310-AO model specifically supports 100BASE-LX Fast Ethernet standards, enabling data rates up to 100 Mbps over distances up to 10 kilometers.

Compatibility

This SFP module is designed for broad compatibility with network devices featuring an SFP port. It is compatible with a wide range of switches, routers, and media converters that adhere to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). While specific vendor compatibility is extensive, it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific network hardware model if it is not a standard MSA-compliant device. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure, providing a cost-effective solution for network expansion.

Installation Notes

Installation involves simply inserting the SFP-FE-LX-SM1310-AO module into an available SFP slot on your network equipment. Ensure the equipment is powered off or that the SFP slot supports hot-swapping before insertion. The module utilizes a duplex LC connector for the fiber optic cable. A clean fiber optic connection is critical for optimal performance and longevity; use appropriate cleaning tools before connecting the cable.
