Linxit NTK591LB-lnx 1GB/s 1000Base-CWDM Single-Mode Fibre 1470nm 40km LC Connector SFP Transceiver

Product Description

The Linxit NTK591LB-lnx is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module engineered for 1Gb/s data transmission within CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks. This module is designed to operate over single-mode fiber optic cables and complies with the 1000Base-CWDM standard. It utilizes a specific optical wavelength of 1470nm, which is one of the many channels available in CWDM systems for multiplexing multiple signals onto a single fiber. The transceiver is specified for a maximum transmission distance of 40 kilometers, making it an ideal solution for short-to-medium haul optical links. These links are commonly found in metropolitan area networks (MANs), enterprise campus backbones, and connections between local data centers. The use of single-mode fiber is critical for maintaining signal integrity over these distances due to its low attenuation and dispersion properties. The NTK591LB-lnx features an LC connector, which is a widely adopted and robust interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection. This SFP module is hot-swappable, allowing for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down network equipment such as switches, routers, or network interface cards. Linxit is a provider of networking components, and this transceiver is built to deliver reliable performance in demanding optical network environments. The 1470nm wavelength is a key component in CWDM deployments, enabling efficient use of fiber optic infrastructure by allowing multiple communication channels to operate concurrently on the same fiber. This significantly enhances the data-carrying capacity of existing fiber optic cabling. The 40km reach provides a practical balance for many network connectivity requirements, offering sufficient distance for a variety of applications while remaining cost-effective for shorter to moderate link lengths. Its compatibility with standard SFP ports ensures broad interoperability with a wide range of networking hardware.
