2.5G SFP 1310nm 20km

The SFP 2.5Gb/s 1310nm LX transceiver is a compact, high-performance optical module designed for up to 20 km transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF). Supporting data rates up to 2.5 Gb/s, it is ideal for telecom and enterprise applications such as SDH/STM-16, SONET OC-48, and Fiber Channel links. The hot-pluggable SFP form factor ensures easy deployment and flexibility across a wide range of networking platforms. The module utilizes a reliable 1310 nm DFB laser transmitter and a high-sensitivity receiver, providing stable optical performance for medium-reach applications. The optical interface features a duplex LC connector, while the module operates on a standard +3.3V power supply. With low power consumption typically below 1.5W, it offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for 2.5G optical communication. Fully compliant with SFF-8472 digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM), the transceiver enables real-time monitoring of key operating parameters including temperature, voltage, and optical power. Designed for robust operation, it supports both commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial (-40°C to 85°C) temperature ranges, and is RoHS compliant and lead-free, making it suitable for carrier-grade and industrial networking environments.
