1 Gbps SFP transceiver for multi-mode fibre

This AddOn SFP module delivers 1 Gbps data transfer over multi-mode fibre using an 850 nm wavelength. It reaches up to 550 m through LC duplex connectors and complies with the Multi-Source Agreement for broad equipment compatibility. The transceiver operates reliably in temperatures from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Cisco Meraki compatible SFP for short-reach links

The module is built for network administrators who need a cost-effective, MSA-compliant transceiver validated for Cisco Meraki MX series switches. It suits campus LANs, building backbones and data-centre interconnects within the 550 m multi-mode range. Buyers who require single-mode fibre, longer distances or higher speeds such as 10 Gbps should look at different form factors or wavelengths.

550 m multi-mode reach at 850 nm

The decisive specification is the 550 m maximum link distance over OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 multi-mode fibre at 850 nm. If the planned fibre run exceeds this limit, or if the cabling plant is single-mode, this transceiver will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will this 850nm SFP link reliably with my existing OM2 multi-mode patch cables?

Yes, the 850nm wavelength and 550m reach are designed for standard multi-mode fibre such as OM2, so your current patch cords will work without changes.

How do I confirm the module is operating correctly once installed in my Meraki switch?

The transceiver supports Digital Optical Monitoring; check the switch port diagnostics for received optical power and temperature readings within the 0 to 70C range.

Does the package include LC patch cables or only the transceiver itself?

Only the SFP transceiver is supplied; LC-terminated multi-mode patch cables must be purchased separately to complete the link.
