1000BASE-SX SFP 1310nm 2km DOM Duplex LC/UPC SMF/MMF Optical Transceiver Module

The 1.25Gbps SFP Optical Transceiver is an efficient and compact solution designed for short-distance optical communication over multimode fiber (MMF) up to 2 kilometers. Housed in an SFP package with an LC connector, the transceiver incorporates a 1310nm FP laser and PIN photodetector for reliable performance. This transceiver supports a data rate of up to 1.25Gbps, making it suitable for Ethernet, telecom, and Fiber Channel applications. It operates on a single +3.3V power supply and offers compatibility with LVPECL data input/output interfaces, ensuring seamless integration with a variety of networking systems. Its adherence to IEC-60825 laser safety standards and RoHS compliance ensures both safety and environmental sustainability.

The module is engineered to perform under diverse conditions, with a supply voltage range of 3.15V to 3.45V and operational temperatures spanning 0°C to +70°C for commercial applications and -40°C to +85°C for industrial environments. Its maximum power dissipation of 1W makes it an energy-efficient choice for modern networks. The device is also designed with excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD), ensuring consistent performance in high-demand networking setups.

In terms of optical specifications, the transmitter section operates at a center wavelength of 1310nm, delivering an average output power between -8dBm and -3dBm with an extinction ratio ranging from 10dB to 15dB. The receiver accommodates wavelengths from 1260nm to 1620nm, with a sensitivity of -24dBm and an overload threshold of -3dBm. These features comply with IEEE 802.3z and ANSI Fiber Channel standards, ensuring high-quality signal transmission and compatibility with current protocols.

The transceiver’s electrical characteristics include a differential impedance of 100Ω and support for input swing differentials ranging from 500mV to 2400mV. The receiver provides an output swing differential of 370mV to 2000mV. Features such as TX Disable, TX Fault, and Loss of Signal (LOS) detection offer precise control and robust fault monitoring, enhancing its utility across various network architectures.

Overall, the 1.25Gbps SFP Optical Transceiver is a versatile and reliable module for short-range networking applications. Its combination of high performance, energy efficiency, and adherence to industry standards makes it a valuable component in modern optical communication systems.

The CT-SFP-SX-2 is a cost-effective hot-pluggable SFP module designed for 1.25 Gb/s optical links over multimode fiber up to 2 km. It uses a 1310 nm FP laser transmitter paired with a PIN photodiode receiver, delivering reliable short-range connectivity for LAN, campus, and enterprise networks. With a single +3.3 V power supply and <1 W power consumption, the module supports LVPECL-compatible differential I/O, EEPROM digital diagnostics, and strong EMI/ESD protection. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet, ANSI Fibre Channel, IEC-60825 Class 1 laser safety, and RoHS standards, it is available in commercial and industrial temperature grades.
