The Cisco SFP (mini-GBIC) transceiver module, part number SFP-OC48-LR2=, is a compact, hot-swappable input/output device that plays a critical role in delivering high-speed network communications. It is designed for use with Cisco networking hardware and offers compatibility with a broad range of Cisco routers and switches. This module operates on a single-mode fibre (SMF) to provide the optimal long-distance transmission needed in enterprise networks or data centre environments.
The SFP-OC48-LR2= transceiver supports OC-48/STM-16 data rates, enabling 2.488 Gbps transmission speeds over long distances up to 80 km with the use of single-mode fibre optics. It utilises a wavelength of 1550 nm for signalling, which further facilitates long-range data transmissions. This makes it ideal for environments requiring robust, high-bandwidth data transmission across extended distances, such as large enterprise campuses or dispersed geographically remote sites.
One of its key features is its compliance with SONET/SDH standards, meaning that it supports seamless integration into SONET-based networks for tasks such as transmitting voice, video, and data signals. Additionally, its form factor complies with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) standards, and this hot-swappable capability allows for easy replacement or upgrading without interrupting existing network operations.
The module also includes digital optical monitoring (DOM) functionality, enabling real-time monitoring of parameters such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage. This feature allows network administrators to identify potential issues early and ensure optimal performance standards are maintained.
