• 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
