HP JD498A Compatible SFP Transceiver

This Brute Networks module is a third-party SFP transceiver coded for full HP JD498A compatibility. It operates at 100 Mbps over single-mode fibre with an LC duplex connector. Network engineers use it to add or replace a 100BASE-LX link on routers, switches or servers that accept standard SFP slots.

Practical Limits of 100BASE-LX

The 100BASE-LX standard caps the data rate at 100 Mbps and defines reach for single-mode fibre. This unit supports a maximum link distance of 10 km at the 1310 nm wavelength. It functions within a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 °C and includes Digital Optical Monitoring for real-time diagnostics.

Deciding Specification: 100 Mbps Rate

The transfer rate of 100 Mbps is the single figure that determines suitability. If the network design requires Gigabit or 10 Gigabit throughput, this transceiver will not meet that need. Buyers who need higher bandwidth must select a module rated for the faster standard.

Questions about this item

Is this JD498A module the right choice for a 100 Mbps single-mode link up to 10 km?

Yes, the JD498A is built for 100BASE-LX at 1310 nm and reaches 10 km over single-mode fibre with an LC duplex connector.

What does the 100 Mbps transfer rate mean for actual throughput in a switch?

The port runs at 100 Mbps full-duplex, so you get 100 Mbps each way simultaneously, limited by the 100BASE-LX standard.

Does the SFP use the MSA interface and what does that cap in practice?

It follows the MSA SFP form factor with digital monitoring, so it fits any standard SFP slot and is capped at 100 Mbps over 10 km single-mode fibre.
