Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 10GBase-ZR SFP+ transceiver used for?
A 10GBase-ZR transceiver is designed for long-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber. It's commonly used to interconnect data centers, extend campus networks, and build metropolitan area networks (MANs) where distances exceed standard 10GBase-SR capabilities (typically 300m). The 80km range of this AddOn module makes it suitable for service provider backhaul and enterprise WAN applications.
Is the AddOn FTLX1871D3BCL-AO compatible with Finisar equipment?
Yes. The AddOn FTLX1871D3BCL-AO is a Finisar-compatible SFP+ module that serves as a direct replacement for the Finisar FTLX1871D3BCL. It maintains full interoperability with Finisar-based systems and other MSA-compliant 10GBase-ZR infrastructure, providing cost-effective alternatives without sacrificing performance or reliability.
What distance can this 1550nm transceiver reach over single-mode fiber?
The AddOn FTLX1871D3BCL-AO supports transmission distances up to 80 kilometers over SMF at 1550nm wavelength. This extended range eliminates the need for intermediate regeneration equipment in long-haul deployments, reducing infrastructure complexity and total cost of ownership for large-scale optical networks.
Does this SFP+ transceiver meet government procurement standards?
Yes. The AddOn FTLX1871D3BCL-AO is both MSA compliant and TAA compliant, meeting Multi-Source Agreement interoperability standards and Trade Agreements Act requirements. This makes it eligible for U.S. government contracts and enterprise procurement programs with strict compliance mandates.
