IXIA MM850 850nm SFP Transceiver

Product Description

The IXIA MM850 is a standard SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for short-reach (SR) optical links. It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is the standard for transceivers used with multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables. This type of transceiver is commonly deployed for high-speed data communication within data centers, enterprise networks, and other environments where network links are relatively short. With its 850nm wavelength and MMF compatibility, the MM850 typically supports data rates such as Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel, providing connectivity up to approximately 300 to 550 meters, depending on the type of multi-mode fiber used (e.g., OM1, OM2, OM3). The module usually features an LC connector, which is the industry standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link. Its compact size and hot-pluggable design allow for easy integration and replacement in network equipment like switches, routers, and network interface cards without service interruption. The IXIA MM850 serves as a cost-effective solution for short-distance network interconnectivity. It is a reliable component for building out local area networks, connecting network closets, or linking servers within a data center rack. Its adherence to the SFP standard ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware from various manufacturers, making it a versatile choice for network infrastructure.
