Product Overview
The AirLive ISFP-SR-10G-300M is a high-performance, cost-effective industrial-level SFP+ fiber transceiver. It is designed for serial optical data communication applications, supporting speeds up to 10Gbps over distances of up to 300 meters. This module is specifically engineered for multi-mode dual fiber environments and operates at a nominal wavelength of 850nm. Its robust design allows for operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, making it an ideal solution for industrial settings, petrochemical facilities, factories, and other demanding infrastructure environments.
Key Features and Capabilities
The transceiver is built with advanced features to ensure reliable high-speed connectivity. It incorporates TX Disable control, TX-Fault, and RX_LOS monitor functions to assist in network management. The module is fully hot-pluggable, allowing for easy installation or replacement without powering down the host equipment. It features a duplex LC connector interface and is compliant with IEEE 802.3ae standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Gigabit Ethernet applications. Additionally, the module includes Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support, which provides real-time information about the fiber connection, significantly simplifying the process of identifying faults or poor connections.
Technical Specifications
The module is designed for low power consumption, operating at less than 1.0W. It utilizes a VCSEL laser and a PIN photo detector to maintain signal integrity. The device is protected against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and exhibits very low Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). It is designed to operate within a power supply voltage range of 3.15V to 3.45V, with a typical requirement of 3.3V. The total supply current is 300mA. The transmitter and receiver characteristics are optimized for high-speed data transmission, with specific parameters for center wavelength, output power, and sensitivity defined to meet rigorous industrial standards.
Installation and Maintenance
The ISFP-SR-10G-300M is designed for seamless integration into existing network switches and fiber infrastructure. Because it is hot-pluggable, it can be inserted into any compatible SFP+ port. Users should ensure that the fiber cables are clean and properly connected to the duplex LC interface. The DDM functionality should be utilized via the host switch management interface to monitor the health of the link. In the event of a connection issue, the RX_LOS (Loss of Signal) indicator can be used to troubleshoot the physical layer. The module is intended for indoor and outdoor industrial use, provided the environmental conditions remain within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
