Finisar V23826-K305-C353 1.3Gb/s MAU 550m Duplex SC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Finisar V23826-K305-C353 represents a specific type of transceiver module, identified as a MAU (Media Access Unit), which typically interfaces between network devices and the physical transmission medium. This particular module supports data rates of 1.3Gb/s, indicating its capability for high-speed data transfer within its intended application scope. The short reach of 550 meters is characteristic of multimode fiber (MMF) deployments, commonly found in data centers and enterprise LAN environments. The transceiver utilizes a duplex SC connector, a robust and widely used connector type for fiber optics, particularly in older or specific enterprise installations. The use of multimode fiber allows for cost-effective cabling solutions for shorter distances while still supporting significant bandwidth. This makes the V23826-K305-C353 suitable for applications such as server-to-switch connections, switch-to-switch links within a rack or row, or other intra-building network segments. While the MAU form factor might be less common in modern modular transceivers like SFP or QSFP, modules like the V23826-K305-C353 were crucial for building high-performance networks in their era. Finisar's reputation in optical components suggests this module was designed for reliability and performance within its specified parameters, serving critical short-reach connectivity needs.
