How to use

Install the SFP module into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or optical transceiver bay. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE‑LX optics and single‑mode fibre connections. After seating the module, connect the single‑mode fibre cable using an LC connector and verify link status through the host device management interface. The hot‑pluggable design permits in‑service replacement; however, follow your equipment vendor’s guidelines for handling and electrostatic discharge protection when inserting or removing the module.

Recommendations

Use single‑mode fibre with appropriate LC connectors and ensure end‑to‑end fibre cleanliness to maintain signal integrity. Verify transceiver compatibility with the host device and, if needed, consult the equipment vendor’s compatibility list. For reliable performance over the full 10 km range, use fibre with the correct attenuation and install link monitoring to detect degradation over time.
