Addonics 49Y4218AO 850nm SFP+ Transceiver

Product Description

The Addonics 49Y4218AO is an SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceiver module, designed to deliver high-speed network connectivity. Operating at an 850nm wavelength, this module is intended for use with multimode fiber optic cables and supports data rates of up to 10 Gbps. It is a key component for implementing 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) links over short distances, commonly found in data center and enterprise network environments. This SFP+ transceiver utilizes an LC duplex connector, which is the standard interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment. It is optimized for short-reach applications, typically supporting distances up to 300 meters over OM3 multimode fiber, and shorter distances over OM1 or OM2 fiber types. The 850nm wavelength is standard for 10GbE SR (Short Reach) optics, often employing VCSEL technology for efficient and cost-effective operation. The Addonics 49Y4218AO is designed to be plugged into SFP+ ports on network switches, routers, servers, and other networking hardware. Its function is to convert electrical signals from the host device into optical signals for transmission over fiber, and to convert incoming optical signals back into electrical signals. This module is crucial for building high-bandwidth network infrastructures that support demanding applications such as server aggregation, storage networking, and high-performance computing.
