Optical SFP+ Module MaxLink ML-S+2733-20 WDM Tx1270/Rx1330nm 10G 20km

The MaxLink ML-S+2733-20 is a high-performance 10G SFP+ optical transceiver module engineered for reliable data transmission over single-mode fiber optic cables. Utilizing WDM (BiDi) technology, this module operates with a transmit wavelength of 1270 nm and a receive wavelength of 1330 nm, allowing for bidirectional communication over a single strand of fiber. It is designed to support high-speed network infrastructures, providing stable connectivity for distances up to 20 kilometers.

Advantages

This optical module offers significant efficiency by utilizing WDM technology, which effectively doubles the capacity of existing fiber infrastructure by enabling bidirectional data flow on a single fiber strand. Its hot-pluggable design ensures that network administrators can install or replace the module without powering down the host equipment, minimizing downtime. Furthermore, the inclusion of Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) allows for real-time tracking of critical parameters such as optical power and temperature, facilitating proactive network maintenance and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Enterprise network backbones and server uplinks
• Metro area network connections
• High-speed data links between switches, routers, and media converters
• Long-distance fiber optic communication up to 20 km

When it may not be suitable

This module is not compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cabling and will not function if used in such environments. Additionally, it is specifically designed for 10G speeds and may not be suitable for legacy network equipment that only supports lower data rates like 1G or 100M.

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Wavelength: Tx 1270 nm / Rx 1330 nm
• Fiber type: Single-mode (SM)
• Maximum distance: 20 km
• Connector type: 1x LC
• Technology: WDM (BiDi)
• Monitoring: DDM support

How to use

To install the module, ensure that the host device, such as a switch or router, is powered on or supports hot-swapping. Carefully insert the SFP+ module into the designated SFP+ port until it clicks into place. Connect the single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector to the module. Once connected, the device should automatically detect the module, and the link status indicator on your networking hardware should illuminate, confirming a successful connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports 10G SFP+ modules
• Ensure the fiber optic cable is single-mode and compatible with LC connectors
• Confirm that the paired module at the other end of the link uses the complementary wavelengths (Tx 1330 nm / Rx 1270 nm)

Usage recommendations

Always clean the fiber optic connector end-faces before insertion to prevent signal degradation caused by dust or debris. Ensure the module is kept within the recommended operating temperature range to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
