Axis Communications T8611 Small Form-Factor Pluggable Single-Mode LC.LX Fiber Module for Up to 10km Transmission Range

Axis T8611 SFP Module LC.LX is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver that supplies network devices, such as a switches or routers, with a fiber optic network connection. It is industrial grade with a wide temperature range and it includes link-loss that enable network redundancy. Complying with SFP Multisource Agreement (MSA), it is easy to install into compliant ports at any time without interrupting the online operation of the host equipment. Long wavelength (1,310 nm) FP laser diodes enable data transmission up to 10 km on a single-mode 9/125 m optical fiber. The module is tested and verified with Axis products.

• Up to 10 km range
• Single-mode fiber
• Link-loss feature
• Industrial grade - extended temperature range
• Complies with SFP MSA

Link-loss feature for network redundancy
The loss of signal (LOS) feature allows for the system to recognize a lost connection between a specific hardware (For example, Axis Network Cameras) and the host. For optimized network redundancy, Axis T8611 signals the hardware in case of a lost connection or unusable connection for network traffic. This allows for the hardware to redirect the network traffic through a fallback connection, for example via RJ45.

For long distance connections
Fiber optic connections are typically used in city surveillance, airports and other long distance installations, where lighting strikes are a threat or great connection distances are required.
