Foundry PL-XPL-VC-S13-19 Networks 1Gb/s SFP Duplex LC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Foundry PL-XPL-VC-S13-19 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed to provide 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) network connectivity over multimode fiber optic cables. This module is essential for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) that are equipped with SFP ports. The use of multimode fiber makes it suitable for shorter network runs, typically found within buildings or data centers. Featuring a Duplex LC connector, this transceiver allows for simultaneous transmission and reception of data over two separate fiber strands, which is standard for LC connectors. The 1Gb/s speed is a common standard for Ethernet networking, providing sufficient bandwidth for many enterprise and data center applications. The specific wavelength and maximum distance capabilities (often around 550 meters for 1Gb/s MMF) are critical parameters for ensuring reliable link performance, though not explicitly detailed in the title. As a hot-pluggable module, the PL-XPL-VC-S13-19 can be installed or replaced in network equipment without the need to power down the device, minimizing network downtime. This transceiver is a crucial component for building or expanding network infrastructure, enabling high-speed data communication between network segments using fiber optic cabling. Its compatibility with Foundry Networks equipment (as indicated by the brand) ensures seamless integration within those environments.
