Fiber optic transceiver module Barox AC-SFP-LX-E-20

The Barox AC-SFP-LX-E-20 is a fiber optic transceiver module engineered for 1000 Mbit/s gigabit links. Operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm, the SFP-form module supports reliable single-mode fiber connections for extended reach while maintaining compact dimensions and a grey housing that fits common networking chassis. It is designed for interoperability with a wide range of switches, routers and media converters to improve link performance and enable flexible network deployments.

Advantages

The transceiver provides stable gigabit throughput with low latency and is optimized for long-distance single-mode fiber transmission at 1310 nm. Its SFP interface enables hot-plug installation and easy replacement or upgrades without powering down equipment. The compact format reduces rack space usage and the neutral grey finish simplifies visual integration into existing installations.

Suitable for

• Uplinks between switches and routers in enterprise and campus networks
• Long-distance point-to-point fiber links
• Fiber connections for media converters and optical line cards
• Network upgrades where 1000 Mbit/s SFP modules are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Operating wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode (designed for long-reach links)
• Form factor: compact SFP module
• Color: grey housing

How to use

Insert the Barox AC-SFP-LX-E-20 into an available SFP port on compatible network equipment until it seats securely. Connect the single-mode fiber cable with the appropriate LC connector to the module and ensure the opposite end is terminated correctly. Monitor link LEDs on the host device to confirm link establishment and verify speed settings in the equipment management interface. For replacement, power-off is typically not required when the host supports hot-pluggable SFP modules; follow the host vendor guidelines for safe insertion and removal.

Recommendations

Use quality single-mode fiber and clean connectors to ensure optimal optical performance. Verify compatibility with the host device and, if available, review vendor notes on supported transceiver models. For long-distance installations, follow link budget and dispersion considerations appropriate to 1310 nm operation.
