Description

The FR-TRAN-SX-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Fortinet FR-TRAN-SX. This SFP transceiver provides plug-and-play 1000BASE-SX connectivity for Fortinet platforms with SFP and SFP/SFP+ slots. - IEEE 802.3z compliance guarantees interoperability with any 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet equipment - SFP form factor, 1.25 Gbps data rate, 850nm wavelength over multi-mode fibre - Up to 550m reach on OM2/OM3/OM4 fibre, 220m on OM1 fibre - Duplex LC connector with Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support - Industrial temperature range from -40°C to 85°C for ruggedized deployments - Hot-swappable design enables installation without network downtime

Features

• IEEE 802.3z standard compliance ensures the module will initialize and operate identically to OEM transceivers on any compliant Gigabit Ethernet switch or router without vendor lock-in
• VCSEL laser technology at 850nm optimizes cost and power efficiency for short-wavelength multi-mode transmission with lower complexity than long-reach single-mode alternatives
• Industrial temperature rating from -40°C to 85°C enables deployment in outdoor cabinets, factory floors, and other ruggedized Fortinet installations where commercial-grade optics cannot operate reliably
• Digital Optical Monitoring provides real-time access to temperature, voltage, transmit power, and receive power parameters for proactive link troubleshooting and preventive maintenance
• Hot-swappable SFP form factor allows module insertion and removal while the host system remains powered, eliminating scheduled downtime during upgrades or field replacements
• OM2, OM3, and OM4 fibre support at full 550m reach provides deployment flexibility across modern laser-optimized multi-mode plants with sufficient optical budget for typical enterprise and data centre topologies

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Fortinet FR-TRAN-SX?
A: Yes. This transceiver is fully compatible with the FR-TRAN-SX specification. It conforms to IEEE 802.3z for 1000BASE-SX, operates at 1.25 Gbps over 850nm multi-mode fibre, and uses the SFP form factor. It is plug-and-play compatible with Fortinet platforms that support the FR-TRAN-SX.

Q: Which Fortinet platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver works in Fortinet systems with SFP or SFP/SFP+ slots that support 1000BASE-SX optics. The FR-series is designed for ruggedized Fortinet products. Verify your platform has an SFP slot and supports Gigabit Ethernet over multi-mode fibre at 850nm.

Q: What fibre types and distances does this module support?
A: The FR-TRAN-SX-BCC supports OM1 (62.5µm) multi-mode fibre up to 220m, and OM2/OM3/OM4 (50µm) multi-mode fibre up to 550m. The 850nm VCSEL transmitter is optimized for multi-mode fibre. Single-mode fibre is not supported. Distance is subject to fibre quality, connector cleanliness, and link loss budget.

Q: Can this transceiver operate in extreme temperatures?
A: Yes. This module is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to 85°C. This makes it suitable for outdoor enclosures, factory environments, and other ruggedized Fortinet deployments. The FR-series designation from Fortinet indicates support for wider thermal ranges compared to standard commercial-grade transceivers rated 0°C to 70°C.

Q: How do I access DOM data from this transceiver?
A: This transceiver supports Digital Optical Monitoring per SFF-8472. DOM parameters including temperature, supply voltage, transmit power, receive power, and laser bias current are accessible via the host platform CLI or management interface. Fortinet systems typically expose DOM readings through the CLI with commands specific to the platform model and FortiOS version.
