Description
The Cisco SFP-OC48-IR1 is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for high-performance optical connectivity in SONET/SDH networks. Engineered for intermediate-reach applications, it supports OC-48/STM-16 data rates up to 2.488 Gbps and operates over single-mode fiber (SMF) with a reach of up to 15 kilometers. Housed in a compact, hot-swappable form factor, this module is ideal for dense network environments requiring flexibility and scalability. Its LC duplex connector ensures secure and reliable fiber connections, while the metal enclosure provides EMI protection for consistent signal integrity.
Compatible with a wide range of Cisco networking equipment, the SFP-OC48-IR1 is a reliable choice for upgrading or maintaining legacy optical infrastructures. It operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm and supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), allowing for real-time diagnostics of temperature, voltage, and optical power levels. This module is a cost-effective solution for extending the life of existing infrastructure while maintaining high-speed data transmission. When purchasing used, buyers should look for intact labeling, clean optical interfaces, and functional DOM reporting to ensure optimal performance.
