Description
Overview of Lx and Lc Fiber Optic Connectivity
J4859-69101 is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for use with HPE ProCurve switches. It supports Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a single-mode fiber optic cable with a maximum distance of up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). The “Lx” in the product name indicates that it uses 1310nm wavelength for transmitting data.
The module features an LC duplex connector that allows for easy connection to the fiber optic cable. It also supports hot-plugging, meaning that it can be inserted or removed from the switch while it is powered on, without disrupting network operation.
This SFP module provides a cost-effective solution for expanding the network by connecting switches, routers, and servers over long distances. It allows network administrators to easily add fiber connectivity to their existing infrastructure, providing higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances than traditional copper cabling.
Understanding the Gigabit Ethernet Technology
J4859-69101 HPE Procurve Gigabit-LX-LC Mini-GBIC SFP Ethernet 1000mbps 1-Port Switch is a type of Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module that provides high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to networking devices such as switches, routers, and servers. It uses an LC type connector and supports Gigabit Ethernet over long distances using single-mode fiber optic cables.
Gigabit Ethernet is a technology that provides data transfer rates of up to 1000 megabits per second (Mbps), which is ten times faster than Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). It operates over different types of physical media, including twisted-pair copper cables, coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables.
The Gigabit Ethernet standard uses full-duplex transmission, which means that data can be transmitted and received simultaneously. This allows for faster and more efficient data transfer, as opposed to half-duplex transmission used in previous Ethernet standards.
In addition to providing high-speed connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet also supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, which prioritize certain types of network traffic over others. This is useful in networks where real-time applications such as voice and video need to be prioritized over other types of data.
