Small form factor pluggable optical transceivers

Selectronix has introduced to the UK a new family of small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers.

Manufactured by Stratos Lightwave, this new line of miniaturised optical transceivers address the high demand for increased port density in optical networking equipment by delivering twice the port density of standard removable transceivers.

The Stratos SFP module is the first all-metal casing module available on the market and this ensures low emissions and high thermal management performance.

Versions are now available for 1.0625Gb/s and 2.125Gb/s Fibre Channel, 1.25Gb/s Gigabit Ethernet and 2.488Gb/s ATM OC-48.

The Stratos SFP family provides the flexibility and upgradability of a hot-pluggable removable module and is interchangeable with all MSA compatible equipment.

The ability to remove and replace the modules while the system is fully operational eases in-field reconfiguration and service operations and is ideal for critical networking and telecommunications systems.

The SFP module uses the LC Fibre Optic connector standard and is a part of the range of LC compatible components, accessories and cable assemblies supplied by Selectronix.
