ADDER SFP-SM-LC network transceiver module ADDER SFP-SM-LC 1000Base-LX 1310nm

The ADDER SFP-SM-LC is a single-mode fibre SFP transceiver with LC connectors designed for use with ADDERLink Infinity (ALIF) units. It provides a fibre link option supporting data transmission over single-mode fibre at up to 4.25 Gbps and distances of up to 10 km when used in compatible ALIF systems. The transceiver fits into the additional SFP cage on ALIF 1002 and ALIF Dual products to enable fibre or copper link choices alongside the standard CATx port.

Advantages

This single-mode SFP transceiver offers long-reach fibre connectivity with LC connectors, compatibility with ADDERLink Infinity units, and support for high data rates suitable for video and data extension applications. When installed in ALIF Dual units it can be used together with the dual network interfaces for increased throughput and link redundancy.

Suitable for

• Long-distance fibre links in KVM-over-IP and remote access setups
• Integration with ADDERLink Infinity ALIF 1002 and ALIF Dual systems
• Enterprise networks requiring single-mode LC fibre connections up to 10 km

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Fibre type: Single-mode
• Connector: LC
• Wavelength: 1310 nm (typical for 1000Base-LX/SFP-SM-LC)
• Data rate: up to 4.25 Gbps (when used with ADDERLink Infinity transceivers) / 1 Gbps compatibility with 1000Base-LX equipment
• Maximum distance: up to 10 km over single-mode fibre (depending on link conditions)
• Compatibility: ADDERLink Infinity ALIF 1002 and ALIF Dual, and other devices with compatible SFP cages

How to use

Insert the ADDER SFP-SM-LC transceiver into the SFP cage on the target ALIF hardware or any compatible SFP slot until it clicks into place. Connect LC-terminated single-mode fibre cables to the transmit and receive ports, ensuring correct polarity. Configure the host device network settings as required and verify link status. For ALIF Dual units, install transceivers in both network ports if using teaming or redundant link setups.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC fibre rated for the intended distance and check end-to-end attenuation. Match the transceiver wavelength (1310 nm) and fibre type to ensure reliable link performance. For increased throughput or redundancy on ALIF Dual systems, configure link teaming according to the product documentation.
