HP ING5381 100Mb/s SFP Duplex SC Multi-Mode Fiber Transceiver

Description

The HP ING5381 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed to provide 100 Megabit per second (Mb/s) network connectivity over multi-mode fiber optic cable. This type of transceiver is commonly used in network switches, routers, and other networking equipment that feature SFP ports, allowing for flexible and hot-swappable network interface upgrades or expansions. The ING5381 specifically utilizes a Duplex SC connector, which is a widely adopted standard for fiber optic connections, providing a secure and reliable physical link. This transceiver is optimized for short-reach applications, typically within a building or a campus environment. Multi-mode fiber is generally less expensive than single-mode fiber and is suitable for distances up to a few hundred meters or up to 2 kilometers, depending on the fiber grade and data rate. The 100Mb/s speed makes it suitable for applications that do not require the highest bandwidth, such as connecting workstations, printers, or access points in a local area network (LAN) where cost-effectiveness and ease of deployment are key considerations. The HP ING5381 ensures interoperability with networking devices that support the SFP standard. Its plug-and-play capability allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the networking equipment. This transceiver is a reliable choice for extending network connectivity within enterprise environments, providing a cost-effective solution for establishing high-speed links over fiber optic infrastructure.
