Description

The ITFZTCHLX-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Sophos ITFZTCHLX. It delivers plug-and-play compatibility with Sophos UTM, SG, and XG Series firewalls equipped with SFP ports, providing reliable 1000BASE-LX connectivity over single-mode fibre. - Complies with IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard, guaranteeing interoperability with existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure - SFP form factor with 1.25Gbps data rate, 1310nm wavelength, and 10km reach over single-mode fibre via duplex LC connector - DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) support for real-time diagnostics of temperature, voltage, transmit power, receive power, and laser bias current - Operating temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius for reliable performance in standard networking environments - Tested for compatibility with Sophos hardware to ensure seamless integration into UTM, SG, and XG firewall platforms

Features

• IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX compliance ensures full interoperability with existing Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, and firewall infrastructure without vendor lock-in
• 1310nm Fabry-Perot laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver deliver 1.25Gbps full-duplex transmission over OS1 or OS2 single-mode fibre
• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) exposes real-time diagnostic parameters including temperature, voltage, transmit optical power, receive optical power, and laser bias current for proactive link health monitoring
• Hot-swappable design allows field installation and removal without powering down the host firewall, minimizing service interruption during maintenance or upgrades
• 15dB minimum link budget supports up to 10km reach over standard single-mode fibre, accommodating building-to-building links and campus backbone applications
• Operating temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius suits rack-mounted firewall deployments in climate-controlled data centre and server room environments
• SFP MSA mechanical and electrical compliance guarantees correct insertion force, latch retention, and signal integrity across multi-vendor firewall platforms

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Sophos ITFZTCHLX?
A: Yes. The ITFZTCHLX-BCC is engineered to the same 1000BASE-LX standard as the Sophos ITFZTCHLX, with matching SFP form factor, 1.25Gbps data rate, 1310nm wavelength, and 10km single-mode reach. It is plug-and-play compatible and tested for use in Sophos UTM, SG, and XG Series firewalls.

Q: Which Sophos firewall models support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with Sophos UTM, SG Series, and XG Series firewall appliances that feature SFP ports. The SFP port can be onboard or provided via optional Flexi Port expansion modules on 1U and 2U models. Confirm your firewall has a Gigabit SFP slot before ordering.

Q: What type of fibre cable is required for 10km reach?
A: You need OS1 or OS2 specification single-mode fibre cable with duplex LC connectors. The 1310nm wavelength and 15dB minimum link budget support 10km transmission over standard 9/125 micron single-mode fibre. Multi-mode fibre is not compatible with this transceiver.

Q: How do I access the DOM diagnostic data?
A: Most Sophos firewall operating systems expose DOM parameters through the management interface or CLI commands. You can monitor transmit and receive optical power levels, temperature, voltage, and laser bias current in real-time to detect degraded fibre connections or approaching end-of-life conditions before link failure occurs.

Q: Can I mix this transceiver with OEM Sophos transceivers on the same firewall?
A: Yes. Because this transceiver adheres to the same IEEE 802.3z and SFP MSA standards as the OEM module, you can install it alongside genuine Sophos transceivers without compatibility issues. All transceivers on the same firewall will function independently, allowing mixed deployments during phased upgrades or budget-driven procurement.
