Axis 5801-801 Fibre Optic Transceiver Module

AXIS T8611 SFP Module LC.LX (Axis 5801-801) is a fiber optic SFP transceiver that provides network equipment such as switches or routers with a single-mode fiber connection. The module uses a 1310 nm FP laser and an LC connector to support data transmission up to 10 km on 9/125 µm fiber. Built in a metallic housing and compliant with the SFP Multisource Agreement (MSA), it installs into standard SFP ports without interrupting host operation and has industrial-grade temperature tolerance and link-loss signalling for redundancy.

Advantages

The Axis 5801-801 offers compatibility with MSA-compliant SFP ports for easy hot-plug installation, a robust metallic enclosure for mechanical durability, and long-wavelength FP laser technology for reliable single-mode transmission over distances up to 10 km. Industrial-grade design and link-loss support enhance suitability for redundant network setups.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber uplinks between switches and routers
• Metro and campus network links up to 10 km
• Industrial network equipment requiring wide temperature range components
• Redundant network architectures that use link-loss signalling

How to use

Insert the Axis 5801-801 module into a compatible SFP port on a switch, router or other network device while the host remains powered if the device supports hot-plugging. Connect the single-mode LC fiber cable to the module’s LC connector, ensure proper fiber polarity, and verify link status on the host device. Configure networking settings on the host as required for the link.

Recommendations

Install and remove the SFP module according to the host device manual, handle the LC connector with dust caps until connection, and perform fiber inspection/cleaning before mating. Use the module within the manufacturer’s specified temperature range and in MSA-compliant ports to ensure proper operation and redundancy support.
