Etherwan Systems EX-LM48-A3S-TI-N-B5 Sfp Module

Product Description

The ETHERWAN SYSTEMS, INC. EX-LM48-A3S-TI-N-B5 is a hardened SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for demanding network infrastructure applications. SFP modules provide fiber or copper uplink connectivity in managed switches, media converters, and similar networking equipment. The hardened designation indicates this unit is rated for extended temperature operation, with a low-end rating of -40 degrees C, making it suitable for deployment in harsh or uncontrolled environments where standard commercial-grade transceivers would fail. Network technicians and industrial system integrators are the primary installers of this type of component.

This module is intended for use in industrial networking environments where temperature extremes, vibration, or other environmental stressors are present. Typical applications include outdoor enclosures, transportation infrastructure, utility substations, and industrial automation panels. The hardened temperature range makes it a strong candidate for any installation where the equipment is not housed in a climate-controlled space. It is sold as a single unit and is categorized under networking equipment.

Key Features

• Hardened operating range starting at -40 degrees C for extreme-environment deployments
• SFP form factor for compatibility with standard SFP-slot networking equipment
• Designed for industrial and infrastructure networking applications
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward replacement or expansion installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or expansion module for networking switches, routers, and media converters equipped with standard SFP slots.

Installation Notes

SFP modules are installed and removed by qualified network technicians or industrial automation specialists. Always power down or administratively disable the SFP port on the host device before inserting or removing the module to prevent damage to the transceiver or the host equipment. Handle the module by its body and avoid touching the optical or electrical interface. Follow the host device manufacturer guidelines and applicable local network infrastructure codes when integrating into an existing system.
