Transition Networks TN-GLC-BX-U-60 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Transition Networks TN-GLC-BX-U-60 is a versatile Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module designed to bridge the gap between copper and fiber optic networks, or to extend fiber optic links over significant distances. This specific model is configured for Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-X) operation, utilizing a 1310nm wavelength for transmission over single-mode fiber. The 'BX-U' designation typically indicates a Bi-Directional (BiDi) transceiver, meaning it uses a single fiber strand for both transmitting and receiving by employing different wavelengths for each direction, though this specific model's title implies a standard single-fiber operation at 1310nm. With a maximum reach of 60 kilometers, this SFP transceiver is ideal for applications requiring long-distance Ethernet connectivity, such as connecting remote offices, extending backbone networks, or deploying services in metropolitan areas. The module is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation and replacement without the need to power down the host equipment, thereby ensuring network availability. It is designed to be compatible with a wide array of networking devices that support the SFP form factor. The TN-GLC-BX-U-60 is built to meet industry standards, ensuring interoperability and reliable performance. It typically features Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) capabilities, providing real-time information on the transceiver's operating status, including optical power, temperature, and voltage. This feature is invaluable for network management and troubleshooting, enabling administrators to monitor link health and predict potential issues before they impact network performance.
