Transition Networks TN-XFP-LR4-C57 1570nm Transceiver

Product Description

The Transition Networks TN-XFP-LR4-C57 is a high-performance XFP transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networks, adhering to the 10GBASE-LR4 standard. This standard employs Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) to transmit data across four distinct wavelengths, typically within the 1310nm band (e.g., 1271, 1291, 1311, and 1331 nm), over a single pair of single-mode fibers. This multiplexing technique significantly enhances bandwidth capacity and enables extended reach. The module is built in the XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) form factor, which is known for its compact size and hot-pluggable capability, allowing for easy installation and replacement without interrupting network operations. The LC connector is used for the fiber optic interface, providing a secure and reliable connection. The 'LR4' designation signifies its suitability for Long Reach applications, typically up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber. This transceiver is ideal for demanding enterprise and service provider environments, including data center interconnects, metro Ethernet services, and high-capacity backbone links. The TN-XFP-LR4-C57 likely features Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) capabilities, offering real-time insights into critical operating parameters such as optical power, temperature, and voltage. This functionality is essential for network administrators to effectively manage, monitor, and troubleshoot network performance. The 'C57' in the SKU may indicate specific vendor compatibility or a particular performance tuning.
