StarTech SFP10GLRSST 10GBPS SFP+10GBase-LR LC SMF Transceiver

Interface: SFP+

The StarTech SFP10GLRSST 10GBPS Transceiver features an SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) interface, which is a popular and widely used interface in networking equipment. The SFP+ interface is designed to support higher data rates and is backward compatible with the older SFP interface. This makes it an ideal choice for users who want to upgrade their network infrastructure without replacing their existing equipment.

Benefits of SFP+ Interface

1. High Data Rates: The SFP+ interface supports data rates of up to 10Gbps, providing ample bandwidth for demanding applications and ensuring fast and reliable data transmission.

2. Versatility: The SFP+ interface is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment, including switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs). This allows users to easily integrate the StarTech SFP10GLRSST transceiver into their existing network infrastructure.

Backward Compatibility

The backward compatibility of the SFP+ interface with the older SFP interface is a significant advantage. It means that users can use the StarTech SFP10GLRSST transceiver with both SFP and SFP+ ports, providing flexibility and compatibility with different devices.

Interchangeability

SFP+ modules are hot-swappable, meaning they can be inserted or removed from a device without powering it down. This feature allows for easy installation and maintenance, minimizing downtime and improving network efficiency.

Speed: 10Gbps

The StarTech SFP10GLRSST transceiver offers a blazing-fast data transfer speed of 10Gbps. This high-speed capability is essential for modern networks that handle large amounts of data and require fast and efficient communication between devices.

Benefits of 10Gbps Speed

1. Increased Productivity: With a 10Gbps data transfer speed, users can experience significantly faster network performance, resulting in improved productivity and reduced waiting times for data-intensive tasks.

2. Future-Proofing: As the demand for higher bandwidth continues to grow, having a 10Gbps capable transceiver ensures that your network is ready to handle future requirements without the need for costly upgrades.

Smooth Multimedia Streaming

The 10Gbps speed of the StarTech SFP10GLRSST transceiver is particularly beneficial for multimedia streaming applications. It allows for smooth and uninterrupted streaming of high-definition videos, audio, and other multimedia content.

Data Center Applications

In data center environments where large amounts of data are processed and transferred, a 10Gbps connection is crucial. The high-speed capability of the StarTech SFP10GLRSST transceiver ensures efficient data transmission between servers, switches, and storage devices, resulting in improved overall performance and reduced latency.

Connector: LC

The StarTech SFP10GLRSST transceiver features an LC (Lucent Connector) interface, which is the most commonly used connector type for fiber optic cables. The LC connector offers several advantages over other connector types, making it a popular choice in networking applications.

Benefits of LC Connector

1. Small Form Factor: The LC connector is smaller than other fiber optic connectors such as SC or ST connectors. This compact size allows for higher port density, meaning more connectors can be accommodated in a given space.

2. Low Insertion Loss: The LC connector has low insertion loss, which refers to the amount of light loss that occurs when a signal passes through a connector. Low insertion loss ensures efficient and reliable transmission of data over long distances.

Ease of Termination

The LC connector is relatively easy to terminate, making it convenient for field installations or when connecting fiber optic cables in tight spaces. Its push-pull design allows for quick and secure connections without the need for special tools.

Compatibility

LC connectors are compatible with both single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cables, providing flexibility in network design and allowing users to choose the appropriate cable type for their specific requirements.

Cable Type: Single-mode Fiber

The StarTech SFP10GLRSST transceiver is designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cables. Single-mode fiber offers several advantages over multi-mode fiber, making it suitable for long-distance communication and high-speed data transmission.

Benefits of Single-mode Fiber

1. Longer Reach: Single-mode fiber can transmit data over much longer distances compared to multi-mode fiber. This makes it ideal for applications that require connectivity over extended distances, such as campus networks or metropolitan area networks.

2. Higher Bandwidth: Single-mode fiber has a higher bandwidth capacity than multi-mode fiber, allowing for faster data transmission and better overall network performance.

Single-mode fiber has low attenuation, which means that the signal can travel longer distances without significant loss of power or quality. This characteristic is crucial for maintaining signal integrity over extended cable runs.

Single-mode fiber is compatible with Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, which allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber by using different wavelengths of light. This enables users to maximize the capacity of their fiber infrastructure and optimize network efficiency.
