Force Gigabit Optical Module

Page Content

The Force10 GP-SFP2-1Z is a 1000BASE-ZX SFP module supporting Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber up to 80 km.

Overview

The Force10 GP-SFP2-1Z compatible SFP module is designed for 1G Gigabit Ethernet and 1G Fibre Channel applications. It operates over single-mode fiber (SMF) with an LC duplex connector and a wavelength of 1550 nm, supporting link distances of up to 70–80 km, depending on fiber quality and link loss. This module is hot-swappable, allowing installation or replacement without powering down the network device, and complies with SFP MSA, IEEE 802.3z, and SFF-8472 standards for broad compatibility with MSA-compliant equipment .

Key Features

  • Compatibility: Works with Force10 switches, routers, servers, and NICs; tested for multi-switch environments to ensure reliable operation .
  • Monitoring: Includes DOM/DDM functionality to monitor real-time fiber link parameters, helping detect and troubleshoot network issues quickly .
  • Performance: Equipped with a DFB laser and PIN receiver, providing stable optical links and low power consumption for long-distance 1G networks .
  • Cost Efficiency: Produced by a third-party manufacturer (OPTCORE), offering up to 80% savings compared to the original Force10 GP-SFP2-1Z module .

Installation and Usage

  • Interface Type: Ensure the device supports LC duplex single-mode fiber and the SFP slot is compatible with 1000BASE-ZX modules .
  • Insertion: Gently insert the module into the SFP slot, aligning the interface properly to avoid damage. The module is hot-swappable, so no device shutdown is required .
  • Fiber Connection: Use high-quality single-mode fiber and maintain proper length according to specifications. Follow manufacturer guidelines for connecting fibers .
  • Monitoring: Utilize the built-in DOM/DDM to check optical power, temperature, and other link parameters for network reliability .

Applications

This module is suitable for:

  • Enterprise LANs and WANs
  • Data centers requiring long-distance Gigabit Ethernet links
  • Fibre Channel storage networks
  • Replacement or upgrade of Force10 GP-SFP2-1Z modules

Summary

The Force10 GP-SFP2-1Z compatible SFP module is a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-distance Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber. Its standards compliance, hot-swappability, and monitoring features make it ideal for enterprise and data center networks where performance and reliability are critical .
