PLANET MTB-LB20 Fibre Optic Transceiver Module

The PLANET MTB-LB20 is a high-performance SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10G Ethernet connections. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s and a metallic housing, and is intended for use with equipment that provides 10G SFP+ interfaces to deliver reliable high-speed links for enterprise, telecom and ISP networks as well as data center cloud computing environments. The module supports multimode and single-mode deployments with typical reach from 300 meters (multi-mode, LC) up to 10 kilometres (single-mode, LC).

Advantages

The MTB-LB20 provides a compact SFP+ form factor compatible with a wide range of 10G SFP+ ports, a metallic enclosure for durability, and support for long-reach single-mode and shorter multimode fiber links. Its 10000 Mbit/s capability ensures adequate throughput for high-bandwidth applications while maintaining compatibility with PLANET and other vendor equipment that accept SFP+ transceivers.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches and routers
• Data center server-to-switch connections
• Telecom and ISP backbone links
• Cloud computing and virtualization infrastructures

How to use

Insert the MTB-LB20 SFP+ transceiver module into a compatible 10G SFP+ port on your switch, router or network interface card until it clicks into place. Connect the appropriate LC fiber patch cable for multimode or single-mode as required by your network design. Verify link status and configure the connected devices for 10G operation if necessary. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.

Recommendations

Use factory-tested LC fiber patch cables that match the chosen fiber type (OM3/OM4 for multimode or OS2 for single-mode). Ensure device compatibility with SFP+ modules and keep transceiver dust caps on when not connected to protect optical interfaces.
