Allied Telesis AT-SPLX10 – 1000BASE-LX 10km Single-Mode SFP

Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-SPLX10 is a 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fibre at distances up to 10 kilometres. It operates at 1310nm with an LC duplex connector, conforming to the IEEE 802.3z standard for GbE fibre links. This is the standard commercial-temperature variant of the LX SFP range, suited to access and distribution layer links in controlled indoor environments. Hot-swap capability is included, allowing module replacement in the field without system downtime.

Description

The AT-SPLX10 is a straightforward, reliable GbE SFP for single-mode fibre links in standard operating environments. At 10km, it covers the majority of intra-campus and metro access-layer links without requiring amplification or extended-reach optics. The 1310nm wavelength is compatible with the most widely deployed single-mode fibre plant and is distinct from the 1490nm and 1550nm wavelengths used in WDM and PON systems, reducing the risk of wavelength conflict on shared fibre. The LC duplex connector is the de facto standard for modern fibre SFP modules and is compatible with all current-generation patch panels and fibre distribution frames. Being the non-TAA variant, the AT-SPLX10 is the cost-effective option for deployments not subject to US Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it appropriate for commercial, education, and enterprise network builds outside federal procurement. The SFP form factor is supported natively on Allied Telesis switches, media converters, routers, and compatible third-party platforms. The hot-swap design means that a failed transceiver can be swapped without affecting other ports or requiring a maintenance window.
