Know before you buy
This module supports reliable data transmission over single-mode fiber for distances up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
No, the ATEN 2A-137G is hotpluggable, meaning you can install or replace it while the network equipment is running without disrupting your system.
DDM allows you to monitor real-time parameters of the transceiver, such as optical output power, input power, and temperature, which helps in troubleshooting and ensuring the link is performing optimally.
Yes, because it is compliant with SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards, it is designed to work with most standard SFP slots found on network switches and routers.
No, this specific transceiver is designed exclusively for single-mode fiber (SMF). Using it with multi-mode fiber will not provide the intended performance or connectivity.
