Comnet SFP-12A 1000BASE-FX Sfp Transceiver 1310nm 20km

Product Description

The COMNET SFP-12A is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000BASE-FX Gigabit Ethernet applications. Operating at a 1310nm wavelength over a single fiber strand, it supports transmission distances up to 20 kilometers using an LC connector interface. This transceiver is installed by network technicians and systems integrators working on surveillance, access control, and industrial network infrastructure where long-distance fiber links are required.

The SFP-12A is suited for single-fiber, bidirectional deployments in both commercial and industrial environments. Its LC connector interface is compatible with standard SFP slots found in managed switches, media converters, and network video recorders. It is commonly deployed in security and communications networks where copper runs are not practical over extended distances.

Key Features

• 1000BASE-FX Gigabit Ethernet over single fiber strand
• 1310nm operating wavelength for long-distance transmission
• Up to 20km reach without repeaters
• LC connector interface for secure, low-loss fiber termination
• SFP form factor fits standard hot-swappable SFP slots
• Single-fiber operation reduces cabling infrastructure requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental transceiver for use in standard SFP-slot-equipped network switches, media converters, and similar fiber optic networking equipment supporting 1000BASE-FX.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician familiar with fiber optic handling and SFP module procedures. Power down or hot-swap the host device per manufacturer guidelines before inserting or removing the transceiver. Keep fiber end faces clean and capped when not in use to prevent signal loss from contamination. Follow local low-voltage cabling codes and applicable TIA/EIA fiber installation standards during deployment.
