1G SFP LX is representative of a single-mode SFP transceiver that is commonly used in campus or metro backbone networks and can support transmission distances greater than 10 km in length. It utilizes ultra-low optical attenuation for medium to long transmission. The single mode SFP generally uses high-cost FP and DFB lasers with long wavelengths to optimize. SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules are standardized network transceivers that support a range of data rates (1G, 10G, 25G) and fiber types. Operating at the 1310nm wavelength, this type of optical module strikes a practical balance. Single-mode optical modules use the single-mode fiber, wavelength, connector, and reach specified for the exact PID; OS2 is common in premises cabling, but core, attenuation, dispersion, patching, and link budget must be verified.
