Transition Networks TN-SFP-LX8-C31 1310nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Transition Networks TN-SFP-LX8-C31 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module engineered for high-speed data communication over fiber optic networks. Operating at a wavelength of 1310nm, this module is typically utilized for Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps) applications, offering a balance between speed and distance, particularly over single-mode fiber (SMF). The 'LX' designation in the model name often signifies a 'Long wavelength' transceiver, suitable for extended reach scenarios. The 'C31' suffix likely denotes specific operational parameters, such as a particular transmission distance, power budget, or compatibility with certain network equipment or standards. While not explicitly stated, SFP transceivers of this type commonly employ LC duplex connectors for secure and reliable fiber optic connections. The use of single-mode fiber at 1310nm allows for transmission distances that can extend up to 10 kilometers or more, depending on the specific module's specifications and the fiber optic cable quality. This SFP module is designed for hot-swapping, allowing network administrators to install or replace it without interrupting network traffic. It is intended to be plugged into SFP ports on switches, routers, and other networking hardware, enabling the extension of Ethernet networks over fiber optic infrastructure. Transition Networks is known for providing a range of reliable networking solutions, and this transceiver is part of their offering for enterprise and service provider environments.
