LevelOne 2.5Gbps Single-mode SFP Transceiver, 80km, 1550nm

The LevelOne 2.5Gbps Single-mode SFP Transceiver is a high-performance fiber optic module designed for reliable long-range data transmission. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 2500 Mbit/s and is engineered for use with single-mode fiber cables, enabling connectivity over distances of up to 80km. Operating at a 1550nm wavelength with a DFB laser diode, this module ensures stable and efficient network performance in demanding enterprise environments.

Advantages

This transceiver offers significant benefits for network infrastructure, including support for high-speed data rates and extended reach over single-mode fiber. Its hot-swappable design allows for easy installation or replacement without interrupting network operations. The inclusion of Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) provides administrators with real-time status updates, while the low power consumption of 1W contributes to energy efficiency. Furthermore, its compliance with international safety and quality standards ensures reliable operation and broad compatibility with standard SFP-compliant hardware.

Suitable for

• Long-distance network connections up to 80km
• Enterprise-grade fiber optic network backbones
• High-speed data transmission requiring 2.5Gbps throughput
• Upgrading existing SFP-based network infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This transceiver is specifically designed for single-mode fiber applications and will not function with multi-mode fiber cabling. It is intended for commercial environments and may not be suitable for extreme industrial conditions outside the specified operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: 2500 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1550nm
• Maximum distance: 80km
• Connector type: Duplex LC
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Power consumption: 1W
• Form factor: SFP

How to use

To install the transceiver, ensure the network device is powered on or off according to the manufacturer's guidelines for hot-swappable components. Insert the module into an available SFP slot until it clicks into place. Connect the duplex LC fiber optic cable to the transceiver port. Once connected, the device should be automatically recognized by the network switch or router, allowing for immediate data transmission. Use the management interface of your network equipment to monitor the connection status via the DDM feature.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network switch or router supports 2.5Gbps SFP modules.
• Ensure you are using compatible single-mode fiber optic cabling.
• Check that the required transmission distance does not exceed 80km.
• Confirm that the operating environment temperature remains within the 0°C to 70°C range.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the fiber optic connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Avoid bending the fiber cables beyond their minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss.
