Transition Networks TN-SFP-LX8-C55 Sfp Cwdm Transceiver

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS TN-SFP-LX8-C55 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications using CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology at a center wavelength of 1550 nanometers. The module converts electrical data signals to optical signals for transmission over single-mode fiber infrastructure. Network technicians and data communications professionals install this type of transceiver in managed switches, routers, and media converters that support standard SFP slots. The LX optics profile and CWDM wavelength assignment make this unit suited for longer-reach fiber runs where wavelength-specific channel plans are in use.

This transceiver is intended for use in enterprise, campus, and carrier-access network deployments where CWDM channel plans are used to multiplex multiple data streams over a shared fiber plant. It fits standard SFP-compliant ports and is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of failed or end-of-life transceiver modules in existing fiber network segments. Installation is performed by qualified network technicians familiar with fiber optic handling and SFP hot-swap procedures.

Key Features

• CWDM 1550 nm center wavelength for channel-specific fiber network deployments
• Gigabit Ethernet LX optics for single-mode fiber transmission
• Standard SFP form factor for broad switch and router compatibility
• Hot-swappable design supports installation without powering down the host device
• Single unit per package for straightforward stock and replacement ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install SFP transceiver for network switches, routers, and media converters equipped with standard SFP ports supporting Gigabit Ethernet LX optics.

Installation Notes

SFP transceivers are installed and removed by qualified network technicians following the host equipment manufacturer's hot-swap procedures. Always handle fiber connectors and the transceiver optical port with care — keep dust caps in place until the moment of connection and avoid touching optical faces. Clean fiber end-faces with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before insertion. Verify that the fiber plant and connected CWDM mux/demux equipment are configured for the 1550 nm wavelength channel before placing the link into service.
