Finisar FTR-8519P-5A 1Gb/s GBIC 850nm SC Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Product Description

The Finisar FTR-8519P-5A is a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) transceiver module that provides 1Gb/s data transmission over multi-mode fiber (MMF). Operating at a wavelength of 850nm, this module is designed for short-to-medium reach applications within data centers, enterprise networks, and local area networks. The GBIC form factor was an earlier standard for modular network interfaces, offering hot-swappable capabilities for ease of installation and maintenance. This transceiver utilizes an SC duplex connector, a robust and widely adopted connector type for fiber optic communications, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection. The 850nm wavelength is standard for 1Gb/s multi-mode fiber applications, typically supporting distances up to 550 meters over OM2 or OM3 fiber. This makes it suitable for connecting network devices within the same building or across a campus environment. The FTR-8519P-5A converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, enabling high-speed data transfer between network equipment such as switches, routers, and servers. Its compatibility with a broad range of networking hardware that supports the GBIC interface makes it a versatile option for upgrading or maintaining existing network infrastructure. This module is a reliable choice for applications requiring cost-effective and efficient Gigabit Ethernet or Fiber Channel connectivity over multi-mode fiber.
