Vertiv LC-SM-SFP SFP Single Fibre Module LC

Overview

The Vertiv LC-SM-SFP is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module designed for single-mode fiber optic connections. It enables network devices equipped with SFP ports to transmit data over longer distances than copper Ethernet, making it suitable for extending network infrastructure in large facilities or between buildings. This module specifically addresses the need for reliable, high-bandwidth data transmission in surveillance and enterprise network deployments.

Compatibility

This SFP module is designed for use with network equipment featuring standard SFP ports. It is compatible with devices that support single-mode fiber optic transceivers, allowing for integration into existing network architectures. It is a direct replacement for the LC-MM-SFP when single-mode fiber is required, and it is distinct from copper SFP modules like the RJ45-CATX-SFP.

Installation Notes

Installation involves inserting the LC-SM-SFP module into an available SFP slot on a compatible network switch, router, or media converter. Ensure the fiber optic cable is clean and properly terminated with an LC connector before connecting it to the module. The module is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring no additional configuration on most network devices. It is intended for use in controlled environments, typically within network closets or equipment racks.
