Know before you buy
Yes, this module is specifically coded to be compatible with Broadcom equipment. It adheres to SFP+ MSA standards, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into your existing network infrastructure.
DWDM technology allows you to transmit multiple data channels over a single strand of fiber by using different wavelengths. This significantly increases your network capacity without the need to install additional fiber cabling.
This module is rated for data transmission up to 40km over single-mode fiber. It is specifically designed for metropolitan access and core network environments where reliable long-reach connectivity is required.
Yes, it features built-in Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DOM). This allows you to monitor critical parameters like optical output power, input power, and temperature in real-time to ensure network stability.
Because this module operates at a specific 1538.19nm wavelength with 100GHz spacing, it must be paired with a compatible DWDM multiplexer or demultiplexer. We provide guidance on attenuator matching to ensure your signal levels remain within the optimal operating range.
Yes, the module is hot-pluggable, meaning you can install or remove it from a powered-on switch without interrupting the operation of other ports or the entire system.
