Ciena OC12-SFP-LR1-C 622Mb/s SFP 40km 1310nm LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Ciena OC12-SFP-LR1-C is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module engineered for demanding telecommunications and enterprise networking applications. This module provides a robust solution for extending network connectivity over significant distances, specifically designed to support the OC-12/STM-4 data rate, which corresponds to approximately 622 Megabits per second. Its primary application is in backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and long-haul links where reliable, high-speed optical transmission is paramount. This particular transceiver operates at a wavelength of 1310 nanometers, a common choice for single-mode fiber (SMF) communications over medium to long distances. The 'LR' designation signifies its Long Reach capability, enabling data transmission up to 40 kilometers without the need for signal regeneration. The module utilizes a duplex LC connector, which is the industry standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and precise physical interface. Its compatibility with single-mode fiber makes it ideal for deployments utilizing the vast bandwidth potential of this fiber type. As a hot-pluggable device, the OC12-SFP-LR1-C can be inserted into or removed from network equipment ports without interrupting network traffic, facilitating ease of installation, maintenance, and upgrades. This SFP module is designed to meet stringent industry standards for reliability and performance, making it a trusted component for Ciena and other network equipment manufacturers that support SFP interfaces. It plays a critical role in building resilient and scalable optical networks.
