Alcatel-Lucent SFP-sändtagarmodul 1000BASE-SX – LC multimode, 850 nm, 550 m (SFP-GIG-SX)

The Alcatel-Lucent 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver module is a small form-factor pluggable device designed for gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s, operates at an 850 nm wavelength and uses an LC fiber optic connector. This module is intended for short-range optical connections in switches, routers and other network equipment that accept SFP interfaces.

Advantages

The module provides compact SFP form factor compatibility for hot-pluggable installation and replacement. With a standard 850 nm wavelength and LC connector it is suitable for common multimode fiber infrastructures, offering straightforward integration into existing cabling. The specified 1000 Mbit/s throughput supports gigabit Ethernet performance while minimizing footprint in network equipment.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place, taking standard ESD precautions. Connect an LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s LC connector, ensuring transmitter and receiver ends are correctly oriented. After installation, verify link status and speed on the host device and configure any required port settings in the switch or router management interface.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber cabling rated for the intended link distance and maintain clean connector end-faces to ensure optical performance. Avoid excessive bending of fiber cables and keep the transceiver free of dust when not in use by replacing protective dust caps.
