Add-On 3HE00868CA-20-AO Comp SFP LC 1G-BX - 3HE00868CA-20-AO Optical Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On 3HE00868CA-20-AO is a 1Gbps, single-mode optical transceiver module utilizing an LC simplex connector. Designed for extended reach, it supports data transmission up to 20 kilometers. This module is essential for extending network connectivity between switches, routers, or other network devices over single-mode fiber infrastructure, commonly found in enterprise backbones or campus networks. Its specific wavelength configuration (1260-1360nm transmit, 1480-1500nm receive) ensures compatibility with specific fiber optic systems.

Compatibility

This transceiver is designed to be compatible with networking equipment supporting SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) modules. It adheres to industry standards including INF-8074 and SFF-8472, ensuring broad interoperability with switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers that accept standard SFP transceivers. Specific compatibility with Alcatel equipment is implied by the model naming, but it functions as a generic SFP module in any compliant slot.

Installation Notes

The module operates on a low voltage of 3.15 to 3.43 V and draws a maximum of 303 mA, resulting in a power consumption of 1 W. It is rated for operation and storage in extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to 85°C, making it suitable for challenging environmental conditions. Operating humidity should be kept between 5% and 85% non-condensing. The LC connector requires proper handling to prevent dust contamination and ensure optimal signal integrity.
