Add-On FS-TRAN-FX-AO 100BASE-FX SFP Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On FS-TRAN-FX-AO is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module designed for 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet connections over multimode fiber. It enables network devices equipped with SFP ports to extend network reach up to 2 kilometers, making it suitable for connecting surveillance cameras, switches, or other network equipment in larger facilities or across campus environments where copper cabling is insufficient. This module utilizes a 1310nm wavelength, ensuring compatibility with standard multimode fiber infrastructure.

Compatibility

This FS-TRAN-FX-AO SFP transceiver is designed for use in network devices featuring standard SFP ports. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, routers, and media converters that adhere to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). Specific compatibility includes devices from major manufacturers that support 100BASE-FX standards over LC connectors. Always verify your host device's SFP port specifications for 100BASE-FX and LC connector support.

Installation Notes

Installation involves inserting the FS-TRAN-FX-AO module into an available SFP slot on your network equipment. Ensure the host device is powered off before insertion or removal. Connect a standard LC duplex connector for multimode fiber to the transceiver. The module draws minimal power from the host device's SFP port and requires no external power supply. Operating temperature range is typically 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), suitable for most indoor network closet environments.
