StarTech SFP100BLHST 1550nm Transceiver

Product Description

The StarTech SFP100BLHST is a high-performance transceiver module designed to extend the reach of your network infrastructure over single-mode fiber optic cables. Operating at a wavelength of 1550nm, this SFP module is optimized for long-distance communication, making it suitable for connecting network devices across large campuses, metropolitan areas, or between geographically dispersed data centers. Its compatibility with single-mode fiber ensures minimal signal loss over extended distances, providing a reliable link for critical data transmission. The SFP100BLHST adheres to the industry-standard Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, including switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers. The module features an LC duplex connector, which is the standard for fiber optic connections, providing a secure and robust physical interface. Its hot-pluggable design allows for installation or replacement without the need to power down the host device, minimizing network downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures. With support for data rates up to 1.25 Gbps, this transceiver is well-suited for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. It provides a cost-effective solution for upgrading existing networks or deploying new high-speed links where extended reach is a primary requirement. The 1550nm wavelength is particularly beneficial for achieving maximum transmission distances on single-mode fiber, offering a reliable and efficient way to connect network segments.
