Sun X5561A 10Gb/s 10GBase-SR MMF 850nm Duplex LC SFP+ Transceiver

Product Description

The Sun X5561A is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver module engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network connections. This specific module is designed for use with multimode fiber (MMF) optic cables, making it suitable for shorter-reach applications within data centers or enterprise networks. It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is standard for short-wavelength transceivers used with MMF. The transceiver utilizes a duplex LC connector, the industry-standard connector for fiber optic applications, ensuring a secure and reliable physical connection. It adheres to the 10GBase-SR (Short Reach) standard, specifying performance characteristics for 10GbE over multimode fiber. The X5561A module supports data transmission up to 300 meters over OM3 multimode fiber, providing ample reach for typical intra-building or data center interconnects. Its hot-pluggable design allows for installation or replacement without the need to power down the host equipment. This SFP+ module is intended for integration into Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) networking hardware, such as switches, routers, and network interface cards, that feature SFP+ ports. The X5561A provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for establishing high-speed network links, enabling faster data transfer rates and supporting bandwidth-intensive applications. Its compatibility with Sun/Oracle equipment ensures seamless integration and optimal performance within those ecosystems.
