Fiber optic transceiver module PLANET MGB-2GTSR

The PLANET MGB-2GTSR is a 2.5Gbps SFP fiber optic transceiver module with an 850 nm wavelength and LC (UPC) connector, designed for use with networking equipment that supports 2.5G SFP interfaces. Compliant with the SFP Multisource Agreement (MSA) and hot-pluggable, this module enables high-speed Ethernet connections over optical fiber for enterprise, carrier and ISP deployments. The module supports multi-mode fiber links and typical reach for the specified optics.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver is MSA-compliant and hot-pluggable, allowing installation or replacement without interrupting host equipment operation. It supports 2.5Gbps data rates to upgrade existing networks to higher throughput while maintaining compatibility with SFP mini-GBIC ports. The MGB-2GTSR is built for reliable optical transmission with an LC (UPC) interface and is suitable for multi-mode 850 nm links at the specified distances.

Suitable for

• Upgrading switches and routers with 2.5G SFP ports
• Short-reach multi-mode fiber links in data centers and enterprise LANs
• Connecting network devices in campus or wiring-closet environments

How to use

Insert the MGB-2GTSR SFP transceiver into an SFP-compliant port on a compatible switch, router or other network device until it clicks into place. Connect the LC-terminated multi-mode fiber patch cord to the module’s LC port. The host device should automatically detect the transceiver; configure interface settings on the device as required for 2.5Gbps operation. To remove, gently pull the transceiver out while the host device is powered on if hot-swap is supported.

Recommendations

Use appropriate multi-mode OM3/OM4 fiber and LC patch cords for best short-reach performance. Verify compatibility with the host device and firmware, and consult the device datasheet for supported temperature ranges if deploying in harsh or wide-temperature environments.
