HP J4860-61201 1Gb/s SFP 80km 1550nm Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The HP J4860-61201 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for robust Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over extended distances. This module is specifically intended for use with single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables, enabling reliable data transmission up to 80 kilometers. Its 1Gb/s data rate and long-reach capability make it an excellent choice for applications such as inter-building campus links, metro network deployments, and extending network connectivity between geographically dispersed sites. The transceiver operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm, which is optimized for long-haul transmission over single-mode fiber due to lower attenuation at this wavelength. It features a standard duplex LC connector, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and fiber optic patch cords. The 80km reach is achieved through a combination of high-power laser output and sensitive receiver technology, designed to maintain signal integrity over significant distances. Designed for hot-swappable installation, the J4860-61201 can be easily integrated into compatible SFP ports on HP switches, routers, and other networking devices without requiring a system reboot. This facilitates network upgrades and maintenance. The module likely includes Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) capabilities, allowing network administrators to monitor key performance parameters such as optical transmit power, optical receive power, and temperature, which is crucial for ensuring link stability and proactive troubleshooting.
