Description
Product Overview
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules are hot-pluggable, compact transceivers used in networking equipment like switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs). They provide a flexible and cost-effective way to connect different types of network equipment by converting electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa.
One such SFP module is the EX-SFP-1GE-LH Juniper 1000Base-LH SFP Module. In this article, we will discuss its features and capabilities.
Features of EX-SFP-1GE-LH
The EX-SFP-1GE-LH Juniper 1000Base-LH SFP Module is designed to work with Juniper switches and routers that support SFP transceivers. It has a single port and supports a data transfer rate of up to 1 Gbps. The “LH” in its name stands for “long haul,” indicating that it is optimized for long-distance transmission.
Compatibility
The EX-SFP-1GE-LH is compatible with the Juniper Networks EX 3200, EX 4200, EX 4500, EX 6200, EX 8200, MX-series, and T-series switches. It can also be used with other networking equipment that supports the 1000Base-LH standard.
Physical Characteristics
The EX-SFP-1GE-LH is a hot-swappable module that plugs into the SFP port of a Juniper switch or router. It measures 2.2 inches in length, 0.5 inches in height, and 0.5 inches in width, making it a compact and convenient solution for network installations.
Transmission Distance
The EX-SFP-1GE-LH is designed for long-distance transmission, with a maximum transmission distance of up to 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) over single-mode fiber. This makes it suitable for connecting devices across wide geographic areas.
Network Protocol Support
The EX-SFP-1GE-LH supports a range of network protocols, including Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), Fibre Channel, and SONET/SDH. This makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of networking applications.
Optical Specifications
The EX-SFP-1GE-LH operates using an uncooled Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser diode. It uses a 1310nm wavelength for transmitting optical signals and a 1550nm wavelength for receiving them. The module has a power output of -9.5 to -3dBm and a receiver sensitivity of -23dBm, ensuring reliable and efficient signal transmission.
Overall, the EX-SFP-1GE-LH Juniper 1000Base-LH SFP Module is a high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective solution for long-distance networking applications. It is designed to work seamlessly with Juniper switches and routers and supports a range of network protocols, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of networking applications. Its compact form factor and hot-swappable design make it easy to install and maintain, while its high-quality optical components ensure reliable and efficient signal transmission over long distances.
