Product Description
The 3Com ING157 is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module that adheres to the 1000Base-LX standard. This standard specifies Gigabit Ethernet communication over single-mode fiber optic cable, utilizing a wavelength of 1310 nanometers. The ING157 is engineered to provide reliable and extended-reach network connectivity, making it suitable for backbone connections, data center links, and connections between buildings or campus locations. The SFP form factor allows this module to be plugged into compatible network devices such as switches, routers, and network interface cards that feature SFP ports. Its hot-swappable nature means it can be inserted or removed from a live network device without the need to power down the equipment, minimizing network downtime during upgrades or replacements. The 1000Base-LX standard typically uses LC connectors, which are known for their small size and secure latching mechanism, ensuring a stable connection. 3Com, a historically significant networking vendor, produced modules like the ING157 to support the growing demand for high-speed networking. This transceiver is crucial for organizations looking to leverage the bandwidth and distance capabilities of single-mode fiber optics for their Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure, ensuring efficient data transfer over longer distances compared to multimode fiber solutions.
