Foundry 10G-XNPK-ZRD-1554-13 10Gbs Xenpak 80km Dup SC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Foundry 10G-XNPK-ZRD-1554-13 is a 10Gb/s XENPAK transceiver module designed for long-haul transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) for distances up to 80 kilometers. The XENPAK form factor is an older, larger standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers, often found in high-end enterprise and service provider equipment from that era. This module operates at a specific wavelength of 1554.13nm, which is crucial for compatibility within optical networks, especially those employing DWDM technology or requiring precise wavelength allocation. It features an SC duplex connector, a robust and widely used connector type for fiber optic connections, providing a secure physical interface. The XENPAK form factor is typically not hot-swappable in the same way as SFP or XFP modules. Designed for demanding network environments, this transceiver provides reliable 10Gb/s connectivity over extended distances. It is intended for integration into Foundry Networks (now part of Brocade) equipment or other systems that support the XENPAK interface. While XENPAK is largely superseded by smaller form factors, these modules remain critical for maintaining existing infrastructure.
