ALLNET ALL4793 SFP Module 5Gbit Singlemode LC

The ALLNET ALL4793 SFP module provides a singlemode LC optical interface with a 5 Gbit/s data rate for insertion into compatible network switches or routers. It enables high-speed single-fiber uplinks and point-to-point connections over singlemode fiber, suitable for expanding network backbones and linking devices across longer distances where a 5 Gbit/s optical link is required.

Advantages

The module supports a 5 Gbit/s data rate over singlemode fiber and uses a standard LC connector for straightforward installation. Its small form-factor pluggable design allows hot-swapping in compatible ports without interrupting adjacent services. The module is intended for use in environments where deterministic high-speed optical connectivity and minimal footprint are important.

Suitable for

• Backbone uplinks between switches or routers over singlemode fiber
• Point-to-point links across campus or between buildings
• Network expansion where 5 Gbit/s singlemode connectivity is needed
• Replacement or upgrade of existing SFP ports to support higher optical rates

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Transmission medium: singlemode optical fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Data rate: 5 Gbit/s
• Typical application: uplinks, backbone and point-to-point optical links

How to use

Insert the SFP module into a compatible SFP port on a switch or router until it latches; ensure the host device is powered and that the port is enabled in device configuration. Connect singlemode LC fiber patch cords to the module respecting transmit/receive orientation. Monitor link status via the host device interface to confirm proper operation and adjust device settings if necessary for auto-negotiation or fixed-rate operation.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target switch or router and consult the device documentation for supported optical modules and firmware versions. Use quality singlemode LC patch cords and maintain proper fiber handling to avoid contamination or excessive bending. For long-distance links, calculate loss budget and consider using appropriate transceiver classes or additional amplification if required.
