Know before you buy
The AGM731F is designed for multimode fiber optic cables. It uses an LC duplex connector, which is the standard interface for this type of transceiver.
The maximum distance depends on the type of multimode fiber you are using. It reaches up to 1,000 meters on OM4 fiber, 550 meters on OM3, and 275 meters on OM1.
This module adheres to standard SFP GBIC specifications, meaning it is designed for broad compatibility. However, it is specifically optimized for use with Netgear Smart Switches and enterprise-grade networking equipment.
No, this module is specifically engineered for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. It is not intended for 10GbE or higher-speed network environments.
This module is intended for short-reach connectivity, typically within data centers or enterprise environments. For long-distance outdoor runs, you would generally require a single-mode transceiver rather than this multimode model.
