1.25 Gbps optical connection for everyday network needs
The module offers a maximum data transmission speed of 1.25 Gbps, perfectly meeting the needs for gigabit optical uplinks, servers, workstations, or other network devices. It is an ideal choice in environments where a high-bandwidth, stable connection is required, such as:
- In corporate offices and headquarters
- In educational institutions' campus networks
- In data centers and server rooms
- In optical backbone networks for IP camera systems
LC/UPC connector – standard and easy to connect
The LC/UPC connector is among the most widely used connector types in optical networks. Its small size, reliability, and ease of handling make it:
- Easy to connect to existing optical patch panels
- Compatible with most multimode optical patch cables
- Facilitating clear and organized cabling execution
Multimode optical connection at 850 nm, up to 550 meters
The module uses an 850 nm short wavelength laser designed specifically for multimode optical cables. The range of up to 550 meters allows for connecting multiple buildings, floors, or server rooms within a single optical segment while reducing the limitations of copper cabling.
Additional advantages of multimode technology include:
- Lower cable costs for longer distances
- Flexible expandability and adaptability
- Lower signal attenuation, better interference protection compared to copper cables
Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) – monitoring and diagnostics
The built-in DOM function allows for real-time monitoring of optical parameters. The module can provide feedback on:
- The optical performance of the transmitter and receiver
- The temperature of the module
- The power supply voltage
This data appears on the monitoring interface of compatible HP or Aruba network devices, making it easier to:
- Prevent faults and network outages
- Simplify troubleshooting
- Clarify the performance and status of optical links
HP and Aruba device compatibility
The modules are specifically designed for HP and Aruba network switches and other devices, ensuring:
- Stable, uninterrupted operation
- Seamless initialization and recognition
- Support for manufacturer features such as DOM and other monitoring options
This is particularly important in enterprise environments where operational reliability, high availability, and compatibility are key considerations.
Application areas and typical applications
The 2-pack can be deployed for various network tasks. Some typical use cases include:
- Connecting two network switches via an optical backbone network
- Connecting servers or storage systems via optical uplink
- Establishing connections between buildings using multimode cable
- Connecting the central recorder of an IP surveillance system to remote switches
- Building redundant, backup optical links for greater operational reliability
Simple deployment and maintenance
Using the SFP modules is extremely simple:
- Insert the module into a free SFP socket on an HP or Aruba device.
- Connect the multimode optical patch cable with the LC connector.
- Ensure that the device at the other end is properly configured.
- Check the link status and DOM values on the device interface.
The modules are hot-swappable, allowing them to be replaced while the network device remains operational.
Why choose this optical module?
- Reliable, stable operation in HP and Aruba networks
- Excellent price-performance ratio due to the 2-pack
- Fast 1.25 Gbps data transmission even in enterprise environments
- Flexible usability with multimode optical cables
- Advanced DOM monitoring for proactive maintenance
Summary
This 2-pack of gigabit SFP modules is an ideal choice for any user looking for a reliable, high-bandwidth multimode optical connection for HP or Aruba network devices. The LC/UPC connector, 850 nm wavelength, up to 550 meters range, and built-in DOM function together ensure easy deployability, effective monitoring, and stable operation over the long term.
