Available through PCB Store Dhaka, this SFP module fits professional network deployments where consistent fiber connectivity matters.

Alcatel-Lucent 1000BASE-ZX SFP 1550nm 80km Transceiver Overview for Long-Range Optical Networks

Optical networking depends on stable signal transmission across long fiber routes. This module operates on a 1550 nm wavelength, a common choice for long-haul single-mode fiber deployments.

With a 1.25 Gbps data rate, it supports Gigabit Ethernet and other 1G optical infrastructures used by ISPs, enterprise backbones, and telecom operators.

Key operational attributes include:

• Form Factor: Compact SFP module compatible with MSA standard ports
• Fiber Type: Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) for long-distance communication
• Connector: LC Duplex interface for reliable fiber patching
• Maximum Distance: Up to 80 km optical transmission range
• Optical Monitoring: Built-in DDM/DOM diagnostics support

The compact SFP footprint allows hot-swapping within switches, routers, or media converters. This simplifies network maintenance in data centers and telecom racks.

Optical Performance of the Alcatel-Lucent 1000BASE-ZX SFP Transceiver

Long-distance fiber networks require precise transmitter and receiver balance. This module uses DFB laser transmission paired with a PIN receiver to maintain signal stability across extended fiber paths.

Signal power and sensitivity are tuned for long-reach optical environments.

Performance highlights include:

• Transmitter Power: 0 to 5 dBm output range
• Receiver Sensitivity: below −26 dBm for weak signal detection
• Extinction Ratio: greater than 9 dB for optical clarity
• Receiver Overload: above 0 dBm for safe optical input handling

This balance allows stable operation even when fiber attenuation increases over long routes.

Telecom switches and aggregation routers depend on this type of optical tuning to maintain uninterrupted traffic between distant nodes.

Network Deployment Scenarios for the Alcatel-Lucent 80km ZX SFP Module

Large-scale networks rarely operate inside a single building. Fiber infrastructure connects offices, towers, campuses, and data centers across cities.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1000BASE-ZX SFP module supports several deployment environments.

Common real-world applications include:

• Switch-to-Switch fiber links across metropolitan networks
• Switch to NIC connections inside enterprise fiber infrastructures
• Media converter uplinks for extending fiber coverage
• Telecom backbone connections between remote sites
• Gigabit Ethernet optical aggregation layers

Internet service providers in Bangladesh frequently deploy long-reach optics like this module to connect remote fiber distribution points.

A single SFP module can replace complex repeater chains when fiber quality supports extended optical reach.

Power Efficiency and Hardware Design

Network hardware installed in telecom racks must balance performance and power efficiency. This optical module consumes only 1 watt of power, making it suitable for dense switch deployments.

Low power consumption helps reduce thermal load inside network equipment.

Hardware design highlights include:

• Compact dimensions: 55.5 × 13.7 × 12 mm
• Lightweight construction: shipping weight only 0.03 kg
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Storage temperature: −40°C to 85°C

These environmental tolerances allow reliable operation inside data center cabinets and telecom distribution frames.

Standards Compliance and Optical Compatibility

Professional network equipment must follow optical and electrical standards. This module meets several recognized industry specifications.

Supported standards include:

• SFP MSA (INF-8074i)
• IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet
• SFF-8472 digital diagnostics interface
• RoHS, CE, and REACH compliance

These certifications indicate compatibility with many enterprise switches and routers supporting SFP optical ports.

Network administrators often select standardized modules to avoid interoperability issues during infrastructure upgrades.

Compatibility Across Enterprise Network Equipment

The Alcatel-Lucent 1000BASE-ZX SFP 1550nm 80km Transceiver integrates with many network platforms that support 1G SFP interfaces.

Compatible device categories include:

• Managed network switches
