Foundry 10G-XNPK-ZRD-1559-79 10Gbs Xenpak 80km Dup SC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Foundry 10G-XNPK-ZRD-1559-79 is a high-performance optical transceiver module that operates at 10 Gigabits per second. It utilizes the Xenpak form factor, which is an older but still relevant standard for high-speed transceivers, particularly in established network infrastructures. This module is specifically designed for long-haul transmission, capable of sending data signals over single-mode fiber (SMF) for distances up to 80 kilometers. This transceiver is ideal for extending network connectivity across significant geographical distances, such as between data centers, metropolitan area networks (MANs), or for core network links. The use of single-mode fiber is crucial for achieving these extended reach capabilities, as it supports lower signal attenuation over long distances compared to multi-mode fiber. The module typically operates at a wavelength of 1550nm, which is optimized for long-distance transmission in single-mode fiber. The module features a duplex SC connector, a robust and widely used connector type in fiber optics, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection. Its compatibility with the Xenpak interface means it can be integrated into a variety of networking equipment that supports this form factor, providing a solution for extending network reach in demanding environments where high bandwidth and long distance are required.
