Description
Product Overview
The EX-SFP-1GE-SX Juniper 1000BASE SX SFP module is a high-performance and cost-effective solution for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and servers. This module is designed to work with Juniper networking equipment, but it is also compatible with other vendors’ equipment that supports the SFP interface. In this article, we will explore the features and benefits of this module and how it works.
Specification of SFP module
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules are hot-swappable transceivers that can be plugged into a switch, router, or other network devices to provide a flexible and modular connectivity option. The SFP module provides different types of connectivity options, including copper or fiber optic interfaces, and different transmission speeds, ranging from 100Mbps to 10Gbps. SFP modules are interchangeable, so network administrators can easily replace or upgrade the module without affecting the entire network.
EX-SFP-1GE-SX Juniper 1000BASE SX SFP module
The EX-SFP-1GE-SX Juniper 1000BASE SX SFP module is a 1Gbps SFP transceiver that supports multimode fiber optic cable with LC connector. It operates at a wavelength of 850nm and can transmit data up to a distance of 550 meters. The module is compliant with the IEEE 802.3z standard for Gigabit Ethernet and supports the Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) feature that allows real-time monitoring of the module’s operating parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power.
Features and benefits
- High-performance: The EX-SFP-1GE-SX module provides a high-speed data transfer rate of 1Gbps, making it suitable for demanding network applications such as video streaming, data backup, and cloud computing.
- Cost-effective: The module is a cost-effective solution for upgrading network connectivity, as it provides a flexible and modular option that can be easily replaced or upgraded without affecting the entire network infrastructure.
- Easy installation: The module is hot-swappable, which means it can be installed or removed without shutting down the network device. This feature saves time and effort for network administrators, especially in mission-critical environments where downtime is not an option.
- Compatibility: The module is designed to work with Juniper networking equipment, but it is also compatible with other vendors’ equipment that supports the SFP interface, providing greater flexibility in network design and deployment.
- Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM): The module supports the DOM feature that allows real-time monitoring of the module’s operating parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power. This feature helps network administrators to proactively manage the network and prevent downtime due to module failure.
- Distance coverage: The module can transmit data up to a distance of 550 meters, which makes it suitable for connecting network devices in the same building or data center.
EX-SFP-1GE-SX Module work
The EX-SFP-1GE-SX module is designed to work with multimode fiber optic cable with LC connector. The module converts electrical signals from the network device into optical signals that are transmitted through the fiber optic cable. At the receiving end, the optical signals are converted back into electrical signals and delivered to the receiving network device. The module’s operating parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power can be monitored in real-time using the DOM feature.
