Additional Details

The HFCT-5961TG operates at a wavelength of 850 nm and is suitable for short-reach applications using multi-mode fiber. The digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) feature allows users to monitor parameters such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage. This functionality facilitates troubleshooting and proactive maintenance. The transceiver is designed to operate within a specified temperature range, typically 0°C to 70°C. The SFP transceiver consumes low power, typically less than 1W. It is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment that supports SFP transceivers. Proper handling and insertion/removal procedures should be followed to avoid damage to the transceiver and the host equipment. The module provides a secure and reliable connection for Gigabit Ethernet applications in various networking environments.
