Add-On SFP-GEBX40-1490/1550-I-LC-AO 1Gbps BiDi SFP Transceiver
Overview
The Add-On SFP-GEBX40-1490/1550-I-LC-AO is a 1 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed for extended-reach fiber optic communication. It utilizes Bi-Directional (BiDi) technology, transmitting and receiving data over a single strand of single-mode fiber, which conserves fiber ports. This specific model operates at 1490nm for transmission and 1550nm for reception, enabling a 40km link distance. It is compliant with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards and TAA (Trade Agreements Act), making it suitable for government and enterprise deployments requiring specific sourcing and manufacturing origin requirements. This transceiver is ideal for extending network connectivity between buildings, across campuses, or to remote surveillance equipment where single-fiber infrastructure is present.
Compatibility
This SFP module is designed to be compatible with network devices that support the SFP form factor and adhere to MSA standards. This includes a wide range of managed switches, routers, and media converters from various manufacturers. Specifically, it is intended for use with network equipment that requires a 1Gbps fiber connection and supports the LC duplex connector type. Verify your network device's SFP port specifications for compatibility with 1000BASE-BX transceivers operating at 1490nmTx/1550nmRx.
Installation Notes
Install the SFP module into an available SFP slot on your network device. Ensure the device is powered off or that the slot supports hot-swapping. Align the module with the slot and push it in until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector to the module. For optimal performance and to achieve the rated 40km distance, use high-quality single-mode fiber optic cabling (OS2) and ensure clean fiber connectors.
