Product Description
The Foundry 10G-XNPK-ZRD-1540-56 is a high-performance optical transceiver module adhering to the Xenpak standard, designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications. The 'ZRD' designation often implies a specific type of laser and performance characteristics suitable for extended reach. This module is engineered for demanding network environments, particularly in telecommunications and large enterprise backbones where long-distance, high-speed data transmission is critical. This transceiver operates over single-mode fiber (SMF), which is the standard for long-haul and high-bandwidth applications due to its ability to carry signals over greater distances with less dispersion compared to multi-mode fiber. The 80km transmission capability signifies its suitability for metropolitan area networks (MANs) and wide area networks (WANs), connecting geographically dispersed locations. The duplex SC connector is a common and robust interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable link. The 1540 designation within the part number likely refers to the operating wavelength, typically around 1550nm, which is optimized for long-distance transmission in single-mode fiber. Compatibility with specific switch or router platforms, such as Foundry Networks (now Brocade), is essential for proper operation. This transceiver provides a critical link for high-capacity data transport, enabling robust and scalable network infrastructure.
