Brocade ET5302-ER 10Gb/s XFP 40km 1550nm LC SMF Transceiver

Description

The Brocade ET5302-ER is a high-performance XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for long-reach data transmission at 10 Gbps. This module is specifically engineered for use with single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables, enabling data to travel over significantly longer distances compared to multimode fiber. It operates at a wavelength of 1550nm, which is optimized for extended reach applications, making it suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network locations or for backbone connectivity within large campuses or metropolitan areas. With a maximum transmission distance of up to 40 kilometers, the ET5302-ER is a powerful solution for demanding network requirements. The use of single-mode fiber is crucial for achieving these extended distances, providing a high-bandwidth, low-loss communication path. The module features a standard duplex LC connector, ensuring a secure and reliable physical interface for the fiber optic connection. Its XFP form factor is hot-swappable, allowing for easy installation and replacement without interrupting network operations, which is critical for maintaining high availability in enterprise environments. This transceiver is compatible with networking equipment that supports the XFP interface, commonly found in high-end switches, routers, and storage area network (SAN) devices. It supports both Ethernet and Fibre Channel protocols, offering versatility for various network architectures. The Brocade ET5302-ER provides a robust and efficient solution for extending high-speed network connectivity over long distances, ensuring reliable performance for critical data transfer needs.
