IMC Networks IE-SFP/155-ED 155Mbit/s 1550nm network media converter

IE-SFP/155-ED, SSFX-SM1550/XLONG-LC (1550xmt/1490rcv), 80km SFPs and XFPs are compact transceivers which function as modular connectors. Available for copper (RJ-45) and for all common fiber modes, wavelengths and data rates, they allow network operators to connect different interface types into the same network equipment, via an SFP/XFP port. The cost of cable upgrades is greatly reduced - preserving the investment in costly networking equipment, for the price of a relatively inexpensive SFP or XFP. More and more network equipment is being designed with these ports, to take advantage of their flexibility, and to take the uncertainty and guesswork out of expensive equipment purchases.
