Transition F-SM-MM-02(XL)-NA ATM or OC-3 or Transceiver 2 x SC

Product Description

The Transition F-SM-MM-02(XL)-NA is a high-performance fiber optic transceiver module designed for use in telecommunications and data networking applications, specifically supporting ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) or OC-3 (Optical Carrier level 3) interfaces. OC-3 is a standard telecommunications transmission rate equivalent to 155.52 Mbps. This module allows network equipment to connect to single-mode fiber optic networks, enabling high-speed data transmission over significant distances. The module features dual SC connectors, which are standard for duplex fiber optic communication, allowing for simultaneous transmit and receive signals. The 'SM' in the part number typically indicates Single-Mode fiber, and the '(XL)' designation signifies that this module is engineered for Extended Long Haul (XL) operation. This means it is optimized to transmit data over very long distances, often exceeding 80 km, making it suitable for backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and long-haul carrier networks. As a transceiver, it converts electrical signals from the host equipment into optical signals for transmission over the fiber and converts incoming optical signals back into electrical signals. This module is designed to be integrated into compatible network devices such as switches, routers, or multiplexers, providing a critical link for high-capacity data transport. Its reliability and extended range capabilities make it a valuable component for robust network infrastructure.
