DEM-432XT 10GBase-LR SFP+ Transceiver (10 Km)

The D-Link DEM-432XT, for instance, is a high-performance 10 Gigabit SFP+ (Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) networks. Essentially, it is a critical component for establishing long-distance, high-speed network connections in data centers, large enterprise networks, and service provider transport applications. The “LR” in its standard name, for this reason, stands for “Long Reach,” which differentiates it from its short-range counterparts.

Consequently, here are its key features and specifications:

• • Cost-effective solution for 10G fiber connection: In other words, it provides an affordable way to upgrade your network.
  • Lower power dissipation: As a result, it is more energy-efficient.
  • Compliant with Ethernet 802.3ae: This ensures compatibility with industry standards.
  • Compliant with fiber MSA (Multiple Source Agreement): Hence, it works with various manufacturers’ equipment.
  • In comparison to older 10G standards like XFP or X2, this form factor is smaller, thereby allowing for higher port density on switches, reduced costs, and lower power consumption.
  • Speed: It supports full-duplex 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds (10 Gbit/s), which provides a massive boost in bandwidth, thus making it suitable for demanding applications like virtualization, cloud computing, and large-scale data transfers.
  • Standard: The DEM-432XT is compliant with the IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR standard. Specifically, this standard is for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber for distances up to 10 kilometers.
  • Consequently, this type of fiber is essential for transmitting data over long distances with minimal signal degradation.
  • Distance: The module can reliably transmit data up to a distance of 10 km (approximately 6.2 miles) over single-mode fiber.
  • Wavelength: It operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, which is the standard for long-reach single-mode transceivers.
  • It uses a duplex LC connector, which is to say, a common and reliable interface for connecting single-mode fiber-optic cables.
