Description

TL-SM311LM MiniGBIC Module

The TL-SM311 series Fiber Module Cards are introduced for extending transfer distance. Attached to our managed/smart switches, they can extend the distance to several kilometers even tens of kilometers which can basically satisfy the distance requirement of LAN. Users can choose whether and which items to use the fiber modules according to the demand in order to lower cost.

• Multi-mode MiniGBIC module
• Compatible with T3700 series, T2700 series,T2600 series, T2500 series, T1700 series, T1600 series, T1500 series, 2/3/5 series switches and MC220L

The TL-SM311LM is a fiber optic module from TP-Link, also known as a Mini-GBIC or SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) module. Its primary function is to enable fiber optic connections on compatible network switches and media converters.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features and specifications:

• Fiber Compatibility: It works with multi-mode fiber (MMF) cables, specifically with core/cladding sizes of 50/125μm or 62.5/125μm.
• Wavelength: The module operates at a wavelength of 850nm.
• Connector: It uses an LC/UPC connector, which is a standard fiber optic connector.
• Data Rate: It supports a data rate of up to 1.25 Gbps, enabling a full Gigabit Ethernet connection.
• Maximum Distance: The maximum transfer distance is 550 meters (approximately 1,800 feet) when using 50/125μm multi-mode fiber, and a shorter distance with 62.5/125μm fiber.
• Features: It supports features like Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), which allows you to monitor real-time operating parameters of the module.
• Function: Essentially, the TL-SM311LM is a crucial component for extending a network connection over a greater distance than what standard copper Ethernet cables can provide.
