AddOn 407-BBOR-AO 850nm Transceiver

Product Description

The AddOn 407-BBOR-AO is a fiber optic transceiver module that operates at a wavelength of 850nm. This specific wavelength is commonly used for short-reach optical communication, particularly over multi-mode fiber (MMF) cables. Transceiver modules like this are essential components in modern networking infrastructure, acting as the interface between network devices (such as switches, routers, or servers) and the fiber optic cabling. They convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission and convert incoming optical signals back into electrical signals for processing. While the exact specifications for data rate and maximum reach are not detailed in the part number alone, 850nm transceivers are typically used for applications such as Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gbps) over distances ranging from a few hundred meters to over a kilometer, depending on the fiber type (e.g., OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4) and the specific transceiver standard (e.g., SFP, SFP+, QSFP). The 'BBOR' in the part number might indicate specific features or compatibility, but the core function is 850nm optical transmission. AddOn is known for providing compatible networking components, including transceivers, that aim to offer a cost-effective alternative to OEM parts. This 407-BBOR-AO module is designed to be plugged into compatible network equipment, providing a reliable means of establishing optical network links. Users should verify the specific data rate, connector type (commonly LC or SC), and compatibility with their existing network hardware before deployment.
