MINI-GBIC-SX-MM850 SFP/SFP+ Modules
Overview
The MINI-GBIC-SX-MM850 is an SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications. It operates over multi-mode fiber (MMF) and utilizes an 850nm wavelength for short-range optical transmission. This module is ideal for network switches, routers, and fiber-optic media converters requiring reliable and high-speed data transmission.
Installation & Usage
- Check Compatibility: Ensure your switch, router, or media converter supports MINI-GBIC-SX-MM850 before installation.
- Insert the Module:
- Align the SFP connector with the SFP port on your networking device.
- Gently slide it in until it clicks into place.
- Connect Fiber Cables:
- Use multi-mode fiber (MMF) with LC connectors.
- Ensure correct Tx (Transmit) and Rx (Receive) alignment.
- Verify Connectivity:
- Check the device interface to confirm link status.
- Use the network management system (if available) for monitoring.
