Nortel XCVR-010U31 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Nortel XCVR-010U31 is an optical transceiver module characterized by its operation at a 1310nm wavelength. This wavelength is commonly used for short to medium-reach optical communication links, particularly over single-mode fiber (SMF). Transceivers operating at 1310nm are often employed in applications such as connecting network equipment within a campus, linking buildings in a metropolitan area, or providing high-speed connections for enterprise networks where distances do not necessitate the longer reach provided by 1550nm modules. While the specific data rate and form factor (e.g., SFP, SFP+, XFP) are not detailed in the provided title, 1310nm transceivers typically support various industry standards, including Ethernet (e.g., 1GbE, 10GbE) and SONET/SDH rates. The module is designed to be hot-pluggable, allowing for installation and replacement without disrupting network operations. It converts electrical signals to optical signals for transmission and vice versa for reception, enabling data communication over fiber optic cables. This transceiver is intended for use with Nortel networking equipment, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance within their ecosystem. The 1310nm wavelength is less susceptible to chromatic dispersion compared to shorter wavelengths, making it a reliable choice for moderate distances. The specific connector type (e.g., LC or SC) would need to be confirmed based on the module's exact specifications, but it facilitates the physical connection to the fiber optic network infrastructure.
