Dell 98RK6 1.25Gbs 1000Base-LX SMF Duplex LC Connector SFP Transceiver

Product Description

The Dell 98RK6 is a 1.25 Gigabit per second (Gbps) SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module that complies with the 1000Base-LX standard. This standard is designed for Gigabit Ethernet communication over single-mode fiber optic cables, enabling data transmission over extended distances. The module utilizes a duplex LC connector, which is the standard interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link for network connectivity. This SFP module is optimized for long-reach applications, typically supporting distances of up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) over single-mode fiber. The 1000Base-LX standard commonly operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, which is well-suited for long-haul transmissions due to its lower dispersion characteristics in single-mode fiber. The hot-swappable nature of the SFP form factor allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the host device, minimizing network downtime. The Dell 98RK6 module is intended for use with Dell networking switches and other compatible network equipment that supports SFP transceivers. It plays a vital role in extending network reach and connecting devices across different locations or floors within a building. By providing a reliable 1.25Gbps link over single-mode fiber, it supports essential Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure.
