Compatible 1000BASE-SX transceiver

This SFP module provides a 1 Gbps link over multi-mode fibre at 850 nm. It is coded for full Aruba Networks compatibility and meets MSA standards so it initialises identically to an OEM transceiver in routers, switches or servers. The LC duplex connector supports runs up to 550 m.

Thermals, noise and power in normal use

The transceiver operates across a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 °C with no moving parts, so it adds no audible noise to the chassis. Digital optical monitoring is built in, allowing the host system to track temperature, voltage and optical power in real time. Power draw stays within the standard SFP envelope for 1 Gbps optics.

Behaviour under sustained load

Continuous traffic at line rate does not change the thermal profile because the device has no active cooling to throttle. The laser and driver circuitry are qualified to maintain specified output power and receiver sensitivity for the full 550 m reach at 850 nm throughout the 0 to 70 °C range. Firmware coding remains stable during extended operation, preventing link flaps or compatibility errors.

Questions about this item

How do I install this SFP-SX transceiver and what is the common mistake?

Insert the module into an SFP slot until it clicks, then connect the LC duplex fibre. The step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the transceiver and the cable ends before linking them.

What maintenance or replacement will this transceiver need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required. The unit carries a lifetime warranty, so replacement only occurs if a hardware fault appears during its service life.

What is the first limit reached under sustained heavy traffic?

The 1000 Mbps transfer rate caps throughput before the 550 m distance or 70 °C operating temperature become constraints.
