F5 Networks F5UPGSFPR 1GB/s 1000BSX MMF 850nm 550m SFP Transceiver

Product Description

The F5 Networks F5UPGSFPR is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) applications. This module provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for extending network connectivity over multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cabling. Its SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices, including switches, routers, and network interface cards, that feature SFP ports, making it a versatile component for various network infrastructures. This transceiver operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is standard for short-reach communication over multi-mode fiber. It is capable of supporting link lengths of up to 550 meters, making it suitable for connecting devices within a building, across a campus, or in data center environments where shorter fiber runs are common. The F5UPGSFPR utilizes an LC duplex connector, the industry standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and stable physical interface. The hot-pluggable design of the SFP module allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the networking equipment, minimizing network downtime. This transceiver is often used for upgrading network links, replacing faulty modules, or expanding network capacity. While branded by F5 Networks, it functions as a standard Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver compatible with equipment supporting such modules.
