• HPE Gigabit transceiver modules and cables are subject to change over time. For the most
recent list of HPE Gigabit transceiver modules and cables, contact HPE technical support or
marketing staff.
• The available transceiver modules and cables vary by HPE devices. For the transceiver modules
and cables available for a device, see the installation guide for the device.
About optical transceiver modules
Optical transceiver modules (also called fiber transceiver modules) transmit signals over optical
fibers and are suitable for long distance transmission.
LC
The following information explains the major specifications of a fiber transceiver module.
Data rate
Data rate is the number of bits transmitted per second. Data rate is typically measured in Megabits
per second (Mbps) or Gigabits per second (Gbps).
1
Transmission distance
The transmission distance of optical transceiver modules is divided into short and long-range types.
Typically, a distance of 2 km (1.24 miles) or below is short-range type and a distance of 10 km (6.21
miles) is long-range type.
Transmission distances supported by optical transceiver modules are mainly limited by signal
attenuation and dispersion suffered during the transmission of fiber signals over fibers.
•Signal attenuation occurs because of absorption, dispersion, and leakage over the media as
light travels through optical fibers. This attenuation increases in direct ratio to transmission
distance.
•Dispersion occurs because a fiber transmits light with different wavelengths at different speeds.
Light with different wavelengths reaches the receiving end at different time. This results in
spread and blurred pulses.
Central wavelength
Central wavelength represents the wave band used for optical signal transmission. The following
central wavelengths (wave bands) are available for common optical transceiver modules: 850 nm,
1310 nm, and 1550 nm.
• The 850 nm wave band is used for short-reach transmission.
• The 1310 nm and 1550 nm wave bands are used for middle-reach and long-haul transmissions.
Fiber
Fiber types
Fibers are classified into multimode fibers and single-mode fibers.
•Multimode fibers
Multimode fibers (MMFs) have thicker fiber cores than single-mode fibers and can transport
light in multiple modes. However, the intermodal dispersion is greater and worsens as the
transmission distance increases.
Multimode fibers can be classified into multiple grades according to their diameters and modal
bandwidth, as shown in Table 1. The m
the optical characteristics of a multimode fiber. The modal bandwidth of a multimode fiber is
equal to the modulation frequency of the maximum modulation frequency pulse that can pass a fiber × the fiber length.
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) defines multimode fiber types in its G series
standards. The most commonly used multimode fiber is defined in the ITU G.651 standard. The
G.651-compliant fiber transmits light in the wavelength range of 800 nm to 900 nm or 1200 nm
to 1350 nm.
odal bandwidth is a comprehensive index that reflects
OM3 50/125 2000
OM4 50/125 4700
2
•Single-mode fibers
Single-mode fibers (SMFs) have a small core size (typically 9 μm or 10 μm) and can transmit
light in only one mode. Single-mode fibers suffer little intermodal dispersion and are suitable for
long-haul communication. Single-mode fibers transmit light at the central wavelength of 1310
nm or 1550 nm.
Telecommunication Industries Alliance (TIA)/Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) defines that
single-mode fibers use yellow outer jackets with an "SM" mark.
ITU defines single-mode fiber types in its G series standards. The most commonly used
single-mode fibers are defined in ITU G.652 and G.655 standards. Table 2 de
scribes features
of the G.652 and G.655-compliant fibers.
Table 2 Features of G.652 and G.655-compliant fibers
Single-mode fiber type Wavelength (nm)Features Applications
Fiber diameter is expressed as core diameter/cladding diameter, in μm. For example, 9/125 μm
represents a fiber core diameter of 9 μm and a fiber cladding diameter of 125 μm.
As a best practice, use the following fiber diameters for the HPE Comware-based devices:
• G.652 standard single-mode fiber—9/125 μm.
• G.655 single-mode fiber—9/125 μm.
• G.651 standard multimode fiber—50/125 μm or 62.5/125 μm.
LC connector
CAUTION:
Cover the connector with a dust cap when it is not connected to optical fibers.
Connectors connect transceiver modules to the transmission media.
• Transmit power—Transmit power is the power at which the transmitter of an optical
transceiver module transmits optical signals, in dBm.
• Receive power—Receive power is the power at which the receiver of a optical transceiver
module receives optical signals, in dBm.
The transceiver module specifications in this guide provide the average transmit and receive power
ranges.
About copper transceiver modules
Copper transceiver modules transmit signals over Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP). UTP
transmission cover shorter distances than fiber transmission and is typically used in small-sized
networks only.
Transmission distance
Signals can be transmitted over UTP cable for a maximum of 100 m (328.08 ft.). Because of this
limitation, copper transceiver modules are used only for short-reach transmission.
Connector
Registered Jack-45 (RJ-45) twisted pair connectors are used as connectors for copper transceiver
modules.
2.5-Gigabit SFP optical transceiver modules use LC connectors.
