Ge optical module transmission distance
5KM SFP/SFP-GE-SX Huawei is a brand new Gigabit Ethernet optical transceiver designed for short-distance multimode fiber (MMF) transmission up to 550 meters. In reality, SFP transmission distance is defined by optical design—not data rate. An SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module transmits data over fiber using specific wavelengths and power levels, which directly influence how far the signal can travel before degradation occurs. This article will introduce in detail the definition, transmission distance, parameters, and application fields of Gigabit multi-mode optical. In the previous article, we introduced the definition, transmission distance, parameters, and its application areas of Gigabit Multimode Optical Module SFP-GE-SX, etc. Bidirectional modules must be used in -D and –U pairs.
