StarTech.com SFP Multimode Active Optical Cable Module, Full Duplex, 10Gbps

This Active optical cable provides a high-speed Fibre connection for short-reach network links, enabling 10Gbps data transmission between SFP ports. Designed for multimode environments, it operates using an 850nm Wavelength and supports full duplex communication, making it suitable for dense networking setups and switch-to-switch interconnects in industrial and automation contexts.

• 10Gbps transfer rate supports high-throughput data flows
• SFP connector offers hot-pluggable port compatibility
• 850nm Wavelength optimises multimode short-reach links
• Full duplex operation enables simultaneous send and receive
• Multimode Fibre reduces modal dispersion for short distances
• RoHS conformity limits hazardous substances in materials

• Suitable for 10GbE switch uplinks in control rooms
• Ideal for data aggregation between rack-mounted switches
• Used with Fibre patch panels in automation cabinets
• Can be used for server-to-switch connections in labs
• Used for short-range interconnects in electronics testbeds

It employs full duplex signalling so traffic can be transmitted and received concurrently on separate channels, eliminating the need for time-sharing.

It uses multimode Fibre which is intended for short-distance multimodal propagation, typically within rack or short campus links.

The 850nm Wavelength is commonly used for short-reach multimode links and pairs well with standard multimode transceivers and cabling infrastructures.

No, the design is for differential full duplex SFP connections rather than single-ended signalling methods.
