LevelOne 2.5Gbps Multi-mode Industrial SFP Transceiver, 850nm, 300m

The LevelOne 2.5Gbps Multi-mode Industrial SFP Transceiver is a high-performance networking component designed for reliable data transmission in demanding environments. This module supports a data transfer rate of up to 2500 Mbit/s over multi-mode fiber optic cabling, utilizing an 850nm wavelength for efficient signal delivery. Engineered for durability, it functions effectively within a wide industrial temperature range, ensuring consistent connectivity in challenging conditions.

Advantages

This transceiver offers robust industrial-grade performance, allowing for stable operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C. Its hot-swappable design facilitates easy installation and maintenance without the need to power down network equipment. The inclusion of Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) provides users with real-time status updates, while compliance with international standards ensures seamless integration into existing network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• High-speed fiber optic network backbones
• Demanding environments requiring wide temperature tolerance
• Data centers and enterprise networking

This transceiver may not be suitable for long-distance networking applications, as it is specifically optimized for multi-mode fiber connections up to 300 meters. It is also not compatible with single-mode fiber optic cabling or network equipment that does not support the SFP interface standard.

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: 2500 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 850 nm
• Maximum reach: 300 meters
• Connector type: Duplex LC
• Operating temperature: -40°C to 85°C
• Power consumption: 1 W
• Form factor: SFP

To use this transceiver, insert the module into a compatible SFP port on your network switch or router. Once seated, connect the duplex LC fiber optic cable to the transceiver ports. The device is hot-swappable, meaning it can be installed while the host equipment is running, though it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific hardware documentation before installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network switch or router supports 2.5Gbps SFP modules.
• Ensure you are using the correct multi-mode fiber optic cabling.
• Check that the required transmission distance does not exceed 300 meters.
• Confirm that the device environment falls within the specified industrial temperature range.

Ensure that the fiber optic connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion to maintain optimal signal integrity and prevent damage to the optical components.
