Transition Networks TN-SFP-OC3S8-C27 Sfp Transceiver

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS TN-SFP-OC3S8-C27 is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed for OC3 and Fast Ethernet (FE) applications using coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) technology. This module provides fiber optic signal conversion in a compact, hot-swappable SFP form factor. Network technicians and data center engineers install this transceiver into compatible SFP-equipped switches, routers, and network interface cards to extend fiber links over CWDM infrastructure. It is sold as a single unit and is suited for both enterprise and carrier-grade deployments requiring OC3-rate optical transport.

The TN-SFP-OC3S8-C27 is used in enterprise and service provider network environments where CWDM fiber plant is already deployed. It is appropriate for installations requiring OC3 (155 Mbps) or Fast Ethernet optical connectivity on CWDM channel wavelengths. Typical applications include metro Ethernet aggregation, campus backbone links, and WAN handoff scenarios. Installers working with SONET or FE over fiber infrastructure will find this module suited to those link types.

Key Features

• SFP form factor supports hot-swap installation in compatible network equipment
• OC3 and Fast Ethernet dual-rate optical support
• CWDM optical interface for use on wavelength-multiplexed fiber plant
• Single unit packaging for individual port upgrades or replacements

Compatibility

Designed for use in SFP-slot-equipped network switches, routers, and transport equipment supporting OC3 or Fast Ethernet optical interfaces with CWDM wavelength operation. Verify host equipment SFP compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

This transceiver is installed by a qualified network technician into an SFP-compatible port slot. Power down or disable the target port according to the host equipment manufacturer guidelines before handling the module. Handle the SFP by its body and use the locking bail or latch mechanism as designed to avoid damage to the electrical contacts. Clean fiber connectors before mating to prevent optical loss and link errors.
