Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fiber optic cable do I need for this module?
The MuxLab 500970-MM is designed for use with multimode optical fiber (MMF) cable, preferably OM3 or OM4 to achieve maximum distance and performance.
What is the maximum transmission distance?
This module can transmit data over a distance of up to 300 meters using high-quality multimode fiber (2000MHz/km MMF, such as OM3).
Is it compatible with equipment from other brands?
Yes, by complying with the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement), SFF-8431 and IEEE 802.3ae standards, this SFP+ module is compatible with most switches, network cards and media converters that have an unlocked SFP+ port.
What does it mean for it to be "hot-pluggable"?
This means you can install, replace, or remove the SFP+ port module from a device while it is running, without needing to power it down. This prevents network service interruptions.
