NETGEAR AGM732F for Gigabit Ethernet Applications

Fiber optic transceivers are one of the most useful devices in fiber optic network. These little devices allow your networking equipment to accept a wide variety of connections, without having to invest in new hardware. However, these devices (e.g. SFP/SFP+ transceivers) are also one of the most priced devices as the name-brand transceivers are usually marked up by hundreds of percent. Thus many network installers have to buy the compatible ones from OEM vendors. FS.COM's AGM731F compatible NETGEAR transceiver costs only $6, which is much lower than the price of name-brand units. It also brings better benefits along with. This article will make a brief introduction to compatible AGM731F transceiver.

NETGEAR AGM731F

AGM731F is a NETGEAR 1000BASE-SX SFP (small-form-factor) transceiver operating at a nominal wavelength of 850nm over multimode fiber. It is hot pluggable SFP transceiver module designed expressly for high-speed communication applications that require rates of up to 1.25Gbit/s. This transceiver (NETGEAR AGM731F) is compliant with the Gigabit Ethernet standard, as well as the SFP Multi-source Agreement (MSA). It provides with the LC receptacle that is compatible with the industry standard LC connector.

Reasons Why You Should Buy Things From FS.COM

Gigabit Ethernet is widely used in homes and businesses for wired computer networking. SFP optics with its smaller size and advanced transmission rate, is treated as the most cost-effective solution in 1Gigabit Ethernet application. FS.COM offers a full range of compatible SFP optics, each of the SFP optics can be fully compatible with the major brands, such as Cisco, HP, Juniper, Brocade, and so on. Besides that, here are some reasons why you should purchase compatible fiber optics from FS.COM.

• Guaranteed Compatibility

If you have any doubts about whether a third-party transceiver can be as good as the original, let them be soothed. FS.COM's SFP transceivers are made in the same factory conditions, with the same or better quality components, that the name brand NETGEAR units use. Aside from the name on the casing, there really is no difference with ours.

Every FS.COM transceiver is fully compliant with the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards which govern the creation of most network cabling and connectors. They also come with a built-in EPROM chip with all the compatible vendor information necessary, so that your NETGEAR equipment will work. And when we say guaranteed compatibility, we mean it. FS.COM's AGM731F transceivers are backed with a lifetime warranty, with product replacement if needed.

• Fast Shipment

We keep a full range of our transceivers in-stock, ready to ship at a moment's notice. There's no need for lengthy delays waiting for shipments to be sourced and shipped. In case of emergency, same-day shipments are often possible. All you have to do is give us a call!

• Huge Savings

The list price for NETGEAR's official AGM731F 1000BASE-SX transceiver is over four hundred dollars. With that much money, you could even buy entire new pieces of network hardware! However, FS.COM's transceiver, on the other hand, currently sells for less than a tenth of the name-brand list price. Like I point out in the above part, the compatible AGM731F is only $6 at FS.COM.

It sounds too good to be true for a value proposition in networking, but here you have it: FS.COM's own compatible NETGEAR SFP transceivers cost a fraction of what official models retail for, are guaranteed to be 100% fully compatible with NETGEAR hardware, and you get a better warrant than NETGEAR offers.

1000BASE-SX SFP Transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet

Standardized by the IEEE, Gigabit Ethernet is a term describing various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a Gigabit per second, which has been considered to be a viable solution for increased bandwidth requirements for growing networks. 1000BASE SFP transceiver is a hot-pluggable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port/slot, linking the port with the network. Recently the market is flooded with various 1000BASE SFP transceivers available for Gigabit Ethernet. With so many options out there in the market, people may feel puzzled about how to select the one that is in in accordance with their application. Therefore the following article will make a brief introduction to the 1000BASE SFP to help you choose the most suitable one.

Fiber-based or Copper-based Gigabit Ethernet

According to cable material, Gigabit Ethernet can be classified into fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet and copper-based Gigabit Ethernet. In fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet, 1000BASE-X is used to refer to Gigabit Ethernet transmission over fiber. 1000BASE-X is a group of standards for Ethernet physical layer standards. These standards include: 1000BASE-SX (A fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard for operation over multi-mode fiber), 1000BASE-LX (a fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard using a long wavelength laser and a maximum RMS spectral width of 4 nm), 1000BASE-LX10 (which is very similar to 1000BASE-LX, but achieves longer distances over a pair of single-mode fiber), 1000BASE-BX10 (which is capable of up to 10 km over a single strand of single-mode fiber) or the non-standard 1000BASE-EX ( a industry accepted term to refer to Gigabit Ethernet transmission) and 1000BASE-ZX (a multi-vendor term to refer to Gigabit Ethernet transmission) implementations.

While for copper-based Gigabit Ethernet, 1000BASE-CX, 1000BASE-KX, 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-TX are four standards for Gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. 1000BASE-CX uses copper cables as a medium. 1000BASE-KX is part of the IEEE 802.3ap standard for Ethernet Operation over Electrical Backplanes. 1000Base-T uses four pairs of Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cables to achieve Gigabit data rates. 1000BASE-TX is similar to 1000BASE-T but uses two pairs of wires rather than four for data transmission.

1000BASE SFP Transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet

1000BASE SFP transceiver is a device that interfaces a network device motherboard to a fiber optic or copper networking cable. It is designed to support Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel and other communications standards. As noted before, there are 1000BASE optical SFP transceivers and 1000BASE copper SFP transceivers used in Gigabit Ethernet. The following part will go on to talk about one of the 1000BASE optical SFP transceivers—1000BASE-SX SFP.

The 1000BASE-SX is one of the physical layer standards for Gigabit Ethernet, meaning the single optic fiber 1000Mbps baseband transmission standard. “S” refers to short-range multimode optical cable, while “X” means 4B/5B block coding for Fast Ethernet or 8B/10B block coding for Gigabit Ethernet. The standard specifies a transmission distance between 220 m and 550 m. It is highly popular for intra-building links in large office buildings, co-location facilities and carrier neutral internet exchanges. Therefore, 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver module is the best seller in those fields.

Two 1000BASE-SX SFP Transceivers

The 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver module is compatible with the 1000BASE-SX standard. It can support up to 1km over laser-optimized 50μm multimode fiber cable. The wavelength range that 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver module transmits and receives is from 770nm to 860nm. Fiberstore provides a variety of 1000BASE-SX SFP transceivers that are fully compatible with other brands. Take AA1419048-E6 and TL-SM311LM as an example.

AA1419048-E6AA1419048-E6 is Avaya Nortel 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver module for multimode fiber. It is the multimode module with a wavelength of 850nm. Avaya Nortel 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver module supports hot-pluggable SFP footprint duplex LC connector Interface. This transceiver is built to comply with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards. AA1419048-E6 supports dual data-rate of 1.25Gbps/1.0625Gbps, which is widely used in fiber channel links, Gigabit Ethernet links, Fast Ethernet links, other optical links.

TL-SM311LMBesides AA1419048-E6, TL-SM311LM from TP-LINK is also available in the market for supporting Gigabit Ethernet Application. TL-SM311LM has the same specification with other 1000BASE-SX SFPs, which supports a link length of up to 550m on multimode fiber.

As there are different physical layer standards for Gigabit Ethernet, different 1000BASE SFP transceivers may be used for different application. These 1000BASE SFP transceivers can be used for single-mode and multimode fibers of different reaches. 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver can operate link spans of up to 550m on any multimode fibers. Fiberstore produces a variety of compatible 1000BASE SFP with high quality and low prize including the above two SFP transceivers. We can also customize optic transceiver to meet your specific requirements. If you have any interest, please send your request to us.
