Fiber optic transceiver module Microsense MS100200DX

The Microsense MS100200DX is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed to deliver reliable data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm and utilizing an LC connector type, this compact module is engineered to seamlessly integrate into standard network equipment supporting SFP interfaces. It functions efficiently within a required input voltage of 3.3 V and features physical dimensions of 8.4 mm in width, 56.6 mm in depth, and 14 mm in height. Built to support demanding environments, this transceiver module is suited for applications requiring high-performance fiber optic connectivity for 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber cabling.

Advantages

The Microsense MS100200DX provides high flexibility for modern network configurations by utilizing modular optical interfaces found in active networking hardware. It incorporates a wide operating temperature range from -40 to +85 °C, making it exceptionally dependable for deployment in harsh or rough industrial environments where standard networking hardware might fail. Additionally, the integrated digital diagnostics function allows for real-time monitoring of operational parameters, ensuring proactive maintenance and high network reliability.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections utilizing 1000Base-SX standards
• Networking applications in rough or extreme temperature environments
• Enhancing fiber optic link performance in enterprise and industrial networks
• Connecting switches, routers, and media converters with standard SFP slots

When it may not be suitable

This transceiver module is not compatible with single-mode fiber infrastructure due to its design for multimode 62.5/125 µm cabling and 850 nm wavelength operation. It is also unsuitable for network links requiring data transfer rates exceeding 1000 Mbit/s, such as 10G or higher Ethernet standards.

How to use

To install the Microsense MS100200DX transceiver, ensure that the networking device is powered off or supports hot-swapping according to its manufacturer guidelines. Carefully align the SFP module with the empty SFP slot on your switch, router, or media converter and insert it gently until it clicks securely into place. Remove the protective dust cap from the optical bore and connect the appropriate 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber optic cable with an LC connector. Verify link status and transceiver diagnostics through the management interface of your networking hardware once powered on.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network hardware features a compatible SFP slot
• Confirm that your cabling infrastructure utilizes 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber with LC connectors
• Check that the required data rate matches the 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet specification
• Ensure compatibility with your environmental operating temperature requirements

Usage recommendations: Always handle the fiber optic transceiver with ESD protection measures and keep the optical bore covered with dust caps when no fiber cable is attached to prevent contamination. Regularly monitor the integrated digital diagnostics to track performance and detect potential link issues early.
