100BaseFX/BX WDM SFP Fiber Modules – 80 km
DISCONTINUED – 065-73-8WA15 & 065-73-8WB15
For Replacement options see End-of-Life Notifications
The Signamax 065-73-8Wx15 series models are Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) singlemode fiber modules that support fiber Fast Ethernet or SONET OC-3 / SDH STM-1 over a single strand of singlemode fiber cable at distances up to 80 kilometers. There are two types of models in this series: one transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm (model 065-73-8WA15), and the other transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm (model 065-73-8WB15).
These modules are designed to be used in pairs facing each other across a single stand of singlemode fiber. They are a cost-effective method of providing changeable 100Base Fast Ethernet or SONET OC-3 / SDH STM-1 single-fiber singlemode interfaces to switches and media converters equipped with standard 100Base-capable SFP ports.
