The Ethernet transceiver is what provides the interface between the physical layer and the data link layer in high-density data center infrastructure. Let's take a look at some of the most affordable and reliable Ethernet transceivers on the market.
10 GB SFP and Short Range 10BASE-SR Ethernet Transceiver
At an affordable cost that will help lower your capital budget, these Ethernet transceivers are SFP and 10 Gigabit Ethernet small form factor. The Ethernet transceiver simply plugs into a high data port, providing connectivity for up to 300 meters of multi mode fiber. Quality tested in technology labs, these transceivers provide the reliability your business needs to ensure its systems. This transceiver delivers excellent performance in challenging thermal environments, working in temperatures ranging from 0 to 70 degrees F.
10 GB XFP 10-G BASE-SR Ethernet Transceiver
These Ethernet transceivers were specifically designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch modules. Conveniently pluggable, this Ethernet transceiver provides excellent optimized performance in port-dense networks for better virtual memory mobility. These Ethernet transceivers support link spans of up to 300 meters. It's a great way to lower your budget, and the system is reliable, having been lab tested for a guaranteed optimized performance.
10 GbE Short Range XFP Copper Ethernet Transceiver
This short range module is an XFP 10 Gigabit small form factor pluggable Ethernet transceiver that provides CX4 connectivity between Blade server switches and copper 10GBASE-CX4 network devices. These Ethernet transceivers support up to 15 meters on appropriate CX4-grade copper cables.
Blade 1000BASE-T Copper Ethernet Transceiver, SFP Format
These Ethernet transceivers are SFP Gigabit Ethernet small form factor, high pluggable transceivers that can plug into any high speed data port. You can access 1000BASE-T connectivity for up to 100 meters of distance using category 5 twisted pair copper cabling. It's an ideal Ethernet transceiver for when you need to transfer memory great distances.
Blade 1000BASE-LX Fiber Ethernet Transceiver
These Ethernet transceivers provide an SFP Gigabit Ethernet small form factor that's a hot pluggable transceiver that can fit into any high data port. You gain 1000BASE-LX connectivity for up to 10 meter distances using a 8.3/9/10 m Single-mode, Long Haul Fiber of 1,300 nm single mode fiber.
Blade 1000BASE-SX Fiber Ethernet Transceiver
As short range modules, these Ethernet transceivers provide a SFP Gigabit small form factor. This type of hot pluggable Ethernet transceiver fits into high speed data port, and provides link spans for up to 220 meters using 62.5/125 mutil mode fiber and 550 meters using 50/100 multi mode fiber. This is an Ethernet transceiver that can truly go the distance.
Finding the right Ethernet transceiver depends on your distance and infrastructure needs. This list of Ethernet transceivers should provide a basic understanding of what's available in this rapidly developing field of technology.
