Fibre SFP Multimode Module

A Fibre SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) Multimode Module is a compact, hot-swappable transceiver used in networking equipment to facilitate high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber optic cables. These modules are commonly used in switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) for LAN, SAN, and other data center applications.

🔧 Key Features of Multimode SFP Modules

1. Wavelength:

   • Typically operate at 850 nm wavelength for multimode fiber.

2. Transmission Distance:

   • Supports distances up to:

     • 550 meters with OM2 fiber.

     • 300 meters with OM3.

     • 400 meters or more with OM4/OM5 fiber types.

3. Data Rate:

   • Common speeds: 1 Gbps (SFP), 10 Gbps (SFP+ MM).

   • Variants for 25G (SFP28) and other speeds also exist.

4. Connector Type:

   • Usually uses LC duplex connectors.

5. Compatibility:

   • Compliant with IEEE 802.3z (for 1G) and SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards.

   • Compatible with a wide range of vendors and platforms (Cisco, HP, Juniper, etc.) if coded appropriately.

6. Hot-swappable:

   • Can be inserted or removed without powering down the device.

7. Low Power Consumption:

   • Typically consumes <1W, suitable for high-density deployments.

8. DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) Support:

   • Some models support real-time monitoring of parameters like temperature, TX/RX power, and voltage.
