FibroLAN SF2G-LX4-5C-49 1490nm Transceiver

Product Description

The FibroLAN SF2G-LX4-5C-49 is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications over single-mode fiber optic cables. This module operates at a downstream wavelength of 1490nm, making it suitable for applications such as Fiber to the Home (FTTH) or other long-reach network deployments where specific WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) channels are utilized. The 'LX4' designation often implies support for four channels or a specific type of long-reach transmission. This transceiver utilizes a duplex LC connector, a standard interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring secure and reliable mating with fiber patch cords. It is engineered for single-mode fiber (SMF), which allows for significantly longer transmission distances compared to multi-mode fiber. The SF2G-LX4-5C-49 is specified to support data rates of 1.25 Gbps, consistent with Gigabit Ethernet standards, and can achieve distances of up to 40 kilometers, making it ideal for extending network connectivity across metropolitan areas or between distant facilities. Compliance with industry standards such as the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and IEEE 802.3ah ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment from various manufacturers. The '5C-49' part of the SKU likely refers to specific features or compatibility codes relevant to FibroLAN's product line, potentially indicating support for specific network management features or compatibility with certain switch platforms. This transceiver is a critical component for building robust and scalable fiber optic networks requiring long-haul transmission capabilities.
