Juniper NS-SYS-GBIC-MXSR 850nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Juniper NS-SYS-GBIC-MXSR is a GBIC transceiver module specifically designed for short-reach applications over multi-mode fiber (MMF). GBIC modules were an earlier standard for network interface modules, preceding the more common SFP and SFP+ form factors. This module operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is typical for MMF transceivers used in environments like data centers or enterprise campuses for inter-switch or switch-to-server connections. This transceiver converts electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables and vice versa. Its primary application is to enable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, providing a reliable link for data transfer. The 850nm wavelength is suitable for MMF, allowing for data transmission over distances typically up to 550 meters, depending on the fiber's modal bandwidth. The connector type commonly associated with GBIC modules is the SC duplex connector. As a Juniper Networks product, the NS-SYS-GBIC-MXSR is intended to be compatible with Juniper network devices that feature GBIC slots. It plays a crucial role in building out network infrastructure by providing the necessary interface for optical communication. While GBIC is an older standard, these modules are still found in some deployed network equipment, and this specific part number ensures compatibility within the Juniper ecosystem for short-distance, high-speed networking.
