HP J4859A 1Gb/s SFP (mini-GBIC) 10km 1310nm Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The HP J4859A is a 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module, also known as a mini-GBIC. This module is specifically designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cables, enabling network connections over extended distances. It operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, which is a standard for single-mode fiber communications, and supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 10 kilometers. This transceiver features a Duplex LC connector, providing a secure and reliable physical interface for the fiber optic patch cords. The SFP form factor allows for hot-swappable installation into compatible network switches, routers, and other devices, facilitating easy upgrades and replacements without interrupting network operations. Its 1Gb/s speed makes it suitable for a wide range of enterprise and campus networking applications where longer reach is required. The J4859A is a key component for extending network infrastructure beyond the limitations of copper cabling. It is commonly used for backbone connections, linking buildings, or connecting network segments across a large campus. HP designs these transceivers to ensure high performance, reliability, and compatibility with their ProCurve and other networking product lines, as well as with third-party equipment that supports the SFP standard.
