FAQs

Q: What fiber type is required?
A: Single-mode fiber (SMF) with LC connectors is required for 1310 nm longwave operation.

Q: Is it backward compatible to 8G or 4G FC?
A: Yes. It can link at 8GFC or 4GFC with compatible optics and ports.

Q: What distance can I achieve?
A: Up to 10 km on standard single‑mode fiber for longwave 1310 nm optics.

Q: Can I mix LW on one side with SW on the other?
A: No. Both ends must use the same optical type and wavelength (LW to LW).
