• IEEE 802.3z compliance ensures full compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers requiring 1000BASE-SX connectivity, eliminating vendor lock-in for multi-mode SFP ports
• 850nm VCSEL laser transmitter with PIN photodiode receiver delivers -9.5 dBm to -3 dBm transmit power and up to -18 dBm receiver sensitivity for reliable 550m links
• Digital optical monitoring provides real-time access to transmit power, receive power, temperature, voltage, and bias current via I2C interface for proactive link diagnostics
• Hot-swappable SFP footprint with duplex LC interface supports in-service insertion and removal without network disruption or equipment power cycling
• Multi-mode fibre compatibility spans OM1 (62.5/125µm) at 275m and OM2/OM3 (50/125µm) at 550m, offering deployment flexibility across installed campus and data centre fibre plants
• Low power operation under 1W with single +3.3V supply reduces thermal load in high-density switch chassis and lowers operating costs
• LVPECL-compatible data I/O interfaces and MSA SFF-8472 compliance ensure broad platform interoperability beyond Juniper hardware
