HP JD120-61201 100Mb/s SFP (mini-GBIC) 10km 1310nm LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The HP JD120-61201 is a network transceiver module that adheres to the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) standard, often referred to as a mini-GBIC. This module is engineered to provide 100 Megabits per second (Mb/s) Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables. Its primary function is to convert electrical signals from a network device, such as a switch or router, into optical signals for transmission over fiber, and vice versa. This specific transceiver operates at a wavelength of 1310 nanometers (nm), which is a common wavelength for single-mode fiber communication. It is designed for extended reach applications, capable of transmitting data up to a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) over appropriate single-mode fiber optic cabling. The module utilizes an LC duplex connector, which is the standard for fiber optic connections, providing a secure and reliable physical interface. The JD120-61201 is suitable for use in network infrastructure where longer-distance connections are required between network devices, such as connecting switches in different parts of a building or campus. Its 100Mb/s speed makes it appropriate for legacy networks or specific applications that do not require higher bandwidths like Gigabit Ethernet. This transceiver is a critical component for extending network reach and ensuring reliable data transmission in fiber optic networks.
