Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fiber cable is required for this transceiver?
This transceiver requires single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cabling with an LC connector. It is not compatible with multi-mode fiber.
Can this SFP+ transceiver be used with non-Extreme Networks equipment?
While designed for Extreme Networks 10056H compatibility, this SFP+ module adheres to industry standards. However, guaranteed performance and full DDM functionality are ensured with compatible Extreme Networks hardware.
What is the purpose of Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)?
DDM provides real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as optical output power, optical input power, laser bias current, temperature, and supply voltage. This data helps IT teams diagnose issues, predict failures, and ensure network stability.
Does this module support bi-directional communication?
Yes, this is a 1000BASE-BX WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) transceiver, meaning it uses different wavelengths for transmit (1490 nm) and receive (1310 nm) signals, allowing bi-directional communication over a single strand of single-mode fiber.
