TN-SFP-LX20-C31 - Transition 1.25Gbps 1000Base-LX 1310nm LC Connector Single-mode Fiber 200km/124.3 mi Transceiver Module

Description

The Transition Networks TN-SFP-LX20-C31 is an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) optical transceiver module operating at a wavelength of 1310nm. The 'LX' designation indicates it is designed for long-reach applications over single-mode fiber (SMF), and the '20' specifies a typical maximum transmission distance of 20 kilometers. This transceiver is commonly used for Gigabit Ethernet (GE) deployments that require connectivity over extended distances, such as between buildings on a campus or in metropolitan area networks. Operating at 1310nm, this module is optimized for single-mode fiber, which offers lower signal attenuation over long distances compared to multi-mode fiber. The transceiver features a duplex LC connector, the standard interface for SMF connections, ensuring a secure and reliable physical link for both transmit and receive signals. The '-C31' might refer to a specific compliance standard or revision. As a hot-pluggable SFP module, the TN-SFP-LX20-C31 allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down network equipment, ensuring network availability. It is designed to be compatible with a wide range of network switches, routers, and other networking equipment that support the SFP form factor and Gigabit Ethernet standards. This transceiver provides a robust solution for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks over significant fiber optic distances.
