• IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX compliance ensures full Gigabit Ethernet interoperability with MSA-compliant SFP ports regardless of switch vendor
• 850nm VCSEL laser delivers 1Gbps throughput over 50µm OM2 fibre to 550m or 62.5µm OM1 fibre to 300m, supporting typical intra-building and campus backbone distances
• Extended industrial operating temperature range (-40 to 85°C) enables deployment in outdoor enclosures, factory floors, rail wayside cabinets, and other thermally challenging environments where commercial transceivers fail
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring provides SFF-8472 compliant access to temperature, transmit/receive optical power, laser bias current, and supply voltage in real-time for proactive link troubleshooting
• Hot-swappable LC duplex interface with differential LVPECL signalling and TTL loss-of-signal detection allows live module replacement without service interruption
• Low power consumption (maximum 1W typical) reduces thermal load in densely populated switch chassis and simplifies power budgeting for PoE or embedded applications
• Multi-mode fibre compatibility supports incremental fibre plant upgrades from Fast Ethernet without requiring single-mode cabling replacement
