• Range up to 550 m
• Multi-mode fiber
• Link loss function
• For industrial use – extended temperature range
• Complies with SFP MSA

The AXIS T8612 SFP module LC.SX is an SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver designed to provide an optical fiber network connection for network devices such as switches and routers. The module is suitable for industrial use due to its wide temperature range (between -40 and 65 °C) and features a link loss function that enables network redundancy. It complies with the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and can be easily installed at any time on compatible ports without interrupting the online operation of the host devices. VCSEL laser diodes with a short wavelength (850 nm) allow data transmission over distances of up to 550 m using optical fibers (multimode, 50/125 µm). The module has been tested and verified with Axis products.

Link loss function for network redundancy
The signal loss function (LOS – Loss of Signal) allows the system to detect a connection loss between specific hardware (such as AXIS network cameras) and the host. For optimal network redundancy, the AXIS T8612 sends a signal to the hardware in the event of a broken or unsuitable connection for network traffic. This enables the hardware to redirect network traffic to a backup connection, such as via RJ-45.

Fiber optic cables are typically used for long-distance connections in urban surveillance systems, airports, and other large installations where there is a risk of lightning strikes or where long distances need to be covered.
