HP J9054CR 100Mb/s SFP (mini-GBIC) 2km Duplex LC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The HP J9054CR is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module, also commonly referred to as a mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter). This specific module is designed for networking applications requiring a 100 Megabits per second (Mb/s) data rate. It allows network devices, such as switches and routers, to connect to fiber optic cabling infrastructure, extending network reach and providing higher bandwidth compared to copper cabling over longer distances. The module utilizes a Duplex LC connector, which is a standard for fiber optic connections, providing separate transmit and receive paths. It is intended for use with Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) optic cables, which are typically used for shorter to medium-range connections within buildings or campuses. The J9054CR is rated for a maximum transmission distance of 2 kilometers (km) over MMF, making it suitable for local area network (LAN) backbone connections or inter-building links within a limited range. As an HP branded component, the J9054CR is designed to be compatible with HP networking equipment that supports SFP modules. Its role is to convert electrical signals from the network device into optical signals for transmission over fiber and vice versa. This transceiver is a crucial component for building flexible and scalable network infrastructures, enabling reliable data communication over fiber optic links.
