What type of fiber optic cable does this module require?

It requires a standard single-mode fiber (SMF) cable with duplex LC connectors.

What is the maximum transmission distance for this transceiver?

This optical module supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 2km.

Does the SFP1G-SX-31 support real-time diagnostic monitoring?

Yes, it features integrated Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) via an I2C interface.

What is the maximum data rate supported by this SFP module?

It supports up to 1.25Gbps for Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel.

Aside from standard Gigabit Ethernet, can we use this SFP module for our Storage Area Network (SAN) upgrade?

Yes! Besides standard IEEE 802.3ah-2004 for Gigabit Ethernet, this module fully supports 1.063Gbps Fiber Channel protocols, making it a highly reliable and cost-effective solution for upgrading enterprise SANs and NAS storage environments.

We use a mix of Cisco Catalyst and Dell switches in our racks. Will this 1.25G SFP module work seamlessly across different brands?

Yes! The LS-SM311G-02C is fully SFF-8472 MSA compliant and features broad OEM compatibility. It has been strictly tested by our engineers to work perfectly with Cisco, Dell, Juniper, Arista, and other major switch brands without throwing any protocol errors.

We are planning to use these in an outdoor cabinet for a base station backhaul. Does this commercial 0-70°C version work, or do you have an industrial wide-temperature option?

For outdoor cabinets, we highly recommend our industrial version, the LS-SM311G-02I, which supports extreme temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. This commercial LS-SM311G-02C model (0 to 70°C) is specifically designed for indoor data centers, campus LANs, and enterprise server rooms.

To reach the maximum 2km transmission distance, what exact type of fiber optic patch cables should we purchase?

To achieve the full 2km link safely, you need standard Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) with Duplex LC connectors. Ensure your patch cables match the 1310nm wavelength and 9/125µm core size for optimal Tx/Rx optical power performance.
