Alcatel PW5N-OS2260

Push 10 Gigabit Ethernet across 10 km of single-mode fibre with the Alcatel PW5N-OS2260 SFP+ transceiver. Built around a 1310 nm DFB laser and LC duplex connector, it delivers full-duplex throughput at under 1 W, with DDM/DOM monitoring for live link diagnostics.

Overview

The PW5N-OS2260 is a hot-pluggable SFP+ module engineered for Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia switches, routers, and optical transport platforms. It complies with IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR and MSA specifications, ensuring drop-in compatibility across enterprise and data centre networks. The commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) suits standard equipment rooms and controlled environments.
