Allied AT-G8SX-01 Telesis 1Gb/s GBIC 550m Duplex SC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Allied AT-G8SX-01 is a Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module (GBIC) specifically designed for high-speed data transmission over multi-mode fiber optic cables. Operating at 1 Gbps, this transceiver is crucial for establishing reliable network links within buildings or across short campus distances, supporting a maximum reach of 550 meters. It utilizes an 850nm wavelength, which is standard for multi-mode fiber applications, and features duplex SC connectors for secure and robust physical connections. This GBIC module is intended to be plugged into compatible network switches, routers, or servers that feature GBIC slots. By converting electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, it enables the network infrastructure to leverage the benefits of fiber optics, such as immunity to electromagnetic interference and higher bandwidth capabilities compared to copper cabling over similar distances. The duplex SC connector ensures separate transmit and receive fibers, which is standard for full-duplex communication. The AT-G8SX-01 is an excellent choice for upgrading network backbones, connecting network closets, or providing high-speed links to workstations or servers in environments where the distance limitations of copper are a concern. Its compatibility with multi-mode fiber makes it a cost-effective solution for short-to-medium range Gigabit Ethernet deployments, offering a balance of performance, reliability, and distance.
