Transceivers

From the 100BASE-FX up to 10GB products, covering optical and copper tranceivers such as GBIC, SFP, Xenpaks,XFP and X2. ProLabs tranceivers are standards based and come with lofetime warranties. All products comply with the MSA (Multi Source Agreement).

There are six main product sets within the transceiver range:

• GBICs (GIGABIT INTERFACE CONVERTER) – Standard transceivers, commonly used with Gigabit Ethernet and fibre channel.
• SFPs (SMALL FORM PLUGGABLE) – Available in different ranges using the following wavelengths: 850nm, 1310nm, 1500nm. There are also Bi-directional variants. They are available with capability for data rates up to 10 Gigabits.
• XFPs – Transceivers with capability for data rates up to 10 Gigabits.
• X2s – Transceivers with capability for 10 Gigabit data transfer.
• Xenpaks – Tranceivers with capability for 10 Gigabit data transfer.
• SFP+ - Tranceivers with capability for 10 Gigiabit data transfer.
