Addonics 10GXNPKLX4AO 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Addonics 10GXNPKLX4AO is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module. Based on the SKU and title, it operates at a 1310nm wavelength and utilizes the XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) form factor. The inclusion of 'LX4' in the SKU might indicate a specific implementation or an older standard related to 10GbE transmission, potentially involving multiple lanes or a specific type of optical modulation for extended reach over single-mode fiber. Typically, 1310nm is associated with LX (Long Reach) standards, suggesting this module is designed for distances beyond short-reach applications. This transceiver is intended for use with single-mode fiber optic cables, leveraging the 1310nm wavelength to achieve greater transmission distances compared to multi-mode fiber transceivers. While the exact maximum distance is not specified in the title, 1310nm LX modules generally support up to 10 kilometers. The module is equipped with an LC duplex connector, which is the standard interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring broad compatibility with network equipment and cabling infrastructure. The XFP form factor is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be inserted or removed from network devices without requiring a system reboot, which is essential for maintaining network availability. The Addonics 10GXNPKLX4AO serves as a component for extending 10GbE networks over moderate to long distances, suitable for enterprise backbones, campus networks, and metropolitan area networks where higher bandwidth and extended reach are required.
