SFP-OC48-IR1 Use Case
SFP-OC48-IR1-OC-48c/STM-16c for Metro Optical Ring Expansion
In metropolitan backbone networks, Tier-1 carriers integrate the SFP-OC48-IR1-OC-48c/STM-16c transceiver to extend OC-48 IR1 links up to 2 km over single-mode fiber. Its hot-pluggable design, 2.488 Gbps throughput and low power draw accelerate service rollout and reduce OPEX. The outcome is a resilient, high-capacity ring with sub-1 ms failover, supporting surging mobile backhaul and enterprise traffic.
High-Density Data Center Core Uplinks with SFP-OC48-IR1-OC-48c/STM-16c
Hyperscale data centers deploy the SFP-OC48-IR1-OC-48c/STM-16c in spine-leaf architectures to link core switches across 2 km spans without external amplification. Industrial-grade temperature tolerance and ultra-low jitter ensure consistent 2.488 Gbps performance under peak east-west loads. The result is streamlined operations, 30% lower power per port and up to 25% reduction in cooling costs.
Low-Latency Trading Network Interconnects Using SFP-OC48-IR1-OC-48c/STM-16c
Financial firms install the SFP-OC48-IR1-OC-48c/STM-16c in co-located exchange facilities to connect trading servers over 1–2 km single-mode links. The 1310 nm IR1 optics deliver deterministic latency below 2 µs one-way and 99.999% availability. Traders gain real-time market data delivery, sub-nanosecond sync and minimized slippage, maximizing order execution speed.
