5X ARUBA ION 1G SFP LC SX 500M MMF-transceiver

This SFP transceiver delivers reliable 1 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber, supporting distances up to 500 meters with an 850nm wavelength. Ideal for short-reach links in enterprise and campus networks, it ensures seamless integration with Aruba Instant On switches and other MSA-compliant devices.

Advantages

Hot-swappable design allows for effortless installation and replacement without network downtime. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) provides real-time monitoring of transceiver parameters, enhancing network management. Low power consumption of under 1.0 W reduces energy costs and thermal footprint. Full-duplex operation maximizes bandwidth efficiency for high-performance applications.
