• Network equipment that accepts standard SFP multimode transceivers

Key specifications

• Optical wavelength: 850 nm
• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)
• Maximum reach: Up to 550 meters over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Application: Short-range serial data links for switches and routers

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or fiber media converter while the device is powered according to the vendor’s hot-swap guidance. Connect the multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver’s optical port, ensuring correct connector type and clean endfaces. Verify link status via the host device interface and monitor for expected signal levels and link integrity. For best results, follow standard fiber handling and connector cleaning procedures when installing or servicing the transceiver.

Recommendations

Use multimode OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 fiber as supported by your network plan and confirm connector compatibility (e.g., LC) before installation. Maintain clean connectors, avoid tight bends in fiber runs, and consult switch/router documentation for any vendor-specific firmware or compatibility notes when deploying the module in production environments.
