Dell 463-6740 100Mb/s SFP 2km 1310nm LC Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

The Dell 463-6740 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for 100 Megabit Ethernet (100Mb/s) communication over multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This transceiver operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, which is suitable for extending network connections up to a distance of 2 kilometers (2km) on multi-mode fiber. This makes it a viable option for connecting network devices across different floors or sections of a building. The module is equipped with a duplex LC connector, which is the standard interface for fiber optic transceivers requiring separate transmit and receive connections. The SFP form factor allows for hot-swappable installation, enabling network administrators to add or replace modules without interrupting network operations, thereby enhancing system uptime and flexibility. This Dell-branded SFP transceiver is intended for use with compatible networking equipment, such as switches, routers, and network interface cards, that feature SFP ports. It plays a vital role in establishing reliable network links, particularly in environments where fiber optic cabling is utilized for its superior bandwidth and noise immunity compared to copper cabling over longer distances. The 100Mb/s speed is adequate for many enterprise network backbone or access layer connections.
