The Signamax 065-73-MWx15 series models are Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) multimode fiber modules that support fiber Fast Ethernet or SONET OC-3 / SDH STM-1 over a single strand of multimode fiber cable at distances up to 2 kilometers. There are two types of models in this series: one transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm (model 065-73-MWA15), and the other transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm (model 065-73-MWB15).
These modules are designed to be used in pairs facing each other across a single stand of multimode fiber. They are a cost-effective method of providing changeable 100Base Fast Ethernet or SONET OC-3 / SDH STM-1 single-fiber multimode interfaces to switches and media converters equipped with standard 100Base-capable SFP ports.
Part Number | Tx / Rx | Light | Link Power Budget | Typical Max. Distance** | Supply | Operating |
065-73-MWA15 | Tx: 1310 nm | FP Laser | 15 dBm | 2 km | 3.3V | 0 ~ 70° C |
065-73-MWB15 | Tx: 1550nm | FP Laser | 15 dBm | 2 km | 3.3V | 0 ~ 70° C |
** Maximum distances attainable on singlemode fiber circuits are dependent upon a circuit’s conditions; i.e., the number of splices and patch panels and the number of bends in the circuit path. For comparison with competing products, please use the Link Power Budget for meaningful comparisons.
