Addonics ONSSI155I1AO 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Addonics ONSSI155I1AO is a fiber optic transceiver module operating at a wavelength of 1310nm. This specification indicates its suitability for single-mode fiber (SMF) applications, which are designed for long-distance communication. Given the '155' in the SKU, it is highly probable that this module is intended for Fast Ethernet (155 Mbps, often referred to as OC-3 or STM-1 in telecommunications contexts, but commonly mapped to 100 Mbps Ethernet) speeds and supports extended reach capabilities. This transceiver is designed to bridge the gap between network devices and single-mode fiber optic infrastructure, enabling data transmission over significant distances. The 1310nm wavelength is a standard for single-mode fiber, offering lower signal attenuation and dispersion compared to multimode fiber, thus allowing for reliable communication up to approximately 15 kilometers. This makes it an excellent choice for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or metropolitan areas where copper cabling is impractical. The ONSSI155I1AO would typically feature an LC duplex connector for secure and reliable connection to the single-mode fiber optic cable. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals to optical signals for transmission and vice versa. This module is essential for extending network reach and providing high-speed, reliable connectivity for applications that require more distance than standard copper or multimode fiber solutions can offer.
