Compaq 229204-001 2Gb/s SFP (mini-GBIC) 550m Duplex LC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

This Compaq transceiver module, identified by SKU 229204-001, is engineered to provide high-speed data transmission over multi-mode fiber optic cables. Operating at a data rate of 2Gb/s, it is suitable for various networking applications requiring robust and reliable connectivity within its specified range. The SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide array of network devices that support this standard. The module features a duplex LC connector, which is a common and secure interface for fiber optic connections, allowing for simultaneous transmission and reception of data. Its 550-meter reach capability makes it ideal for campus networks, data centers, and other environments where moderate distances need to be covered efficiently. The design adheres to the Small Form-Factor Pluggable Multi-Source Agreement (SFP MSA), guaranteeing interoperability with compliant equipment. As a mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) compatible device, the 229204-001 offers a flexible and hot-swappable solution for network upgrades or expansions. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber and vice-versa, facilitating communication between network switches, routers, and servers. The specific wavelength used is typically 850nm, which is standard for short-reach MMF applications.
