Alcatel-Lucent 1AB187280029 1310nm Transceiver

Description

The Alcatel-Lucent 1AB187280029 is an optical transceiver module that serves as a critical interface for fiber optic communication. Operating at the standard 1310nm wavelength, it is well-suited for a variety of network applications, including Ethernet and Fibre Channel, typically over distances ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers, depending on the fiber type and network configuration. This wavelength is widely adopted for its balance of performance and cost-effectiveness in many network deployments. As a transceiver, its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission across fiber optic cables and to convert incoming optical signals back into electrical signals for processing by network equipment. This conversion process is essential for enabling high-speed data transfer over the high bandwidth and low signal loss characteristics of optical fiber. Given the manufacturer, this module is likely designed for integration into Alcatel-Lucent's extensive portfolio of networking and telecommunications equipment. It ensures compatibility and optimal performance within their systems, providing a reliable link for voice, data, and video traffic. The use of the SFP form factor allows for flexibility and hot-swappability, simplifying network design and maintenance.
