SFP-OC48-SR Use Case
Enterprise Data Center SAN Acceleration with SFP-OC48-SR-OC-48c/STM-16c SFP Short Reach
In a high-density enterprise data center, IT teams deploy SFP-OC48-SR-OC-48c/STM-16c SFP Short Reach modules to interconnect Fibre Channel storage arrays and application servers over multimode fiber. This setup delivers consistent 2.5 Gbps throughput with sub-microsecond latency, enabling rapid database replication and real-time analytics. Benefit: Accelerates mission-critical transactions, reduces backup windows by up to 40%, and ensures predictable I/O performance for virtualized workloads.
Metro Ethernet Ring Aggregation for Telecom Operators
A regional service provider implements redundant OC-48 metro rings using SFP-OC48-SR-OC-48c/STM-16c SFP Short Reach transceivers in its central office switches. Each 2.5 Gbps ring segment leverages multimode fiber to aggregate business customer traffic, supporting Carrier Ethernet services and SLA-backed bandwidth profiles. Benefit: Delivers scalable, resilient metro connectivity with sub-100 ms protection switching, optimizing capital expenditure and safeguarding revenue-critical circuits.
4G/5G Mobile Base Station Backhaul over Multimode Fiber
A mobile network operator deploys SFP-OC48-SR-OC-48c/STM-16c SFP Short Reach modules in its base station routers to backhaul aggregated cell site traffic to the regional hub. The OC-48c link carries high‐definition voice, video, and data sessions on existing multimode fiber cabling. Benefit: Provides a cost-effective 2.5 Gbps backhaul solution with low jitter and packet loss, improving end-user quality of experience and accelerating support for bandwidth-intensive mobile applications.
