Allied Telesis AT-SPSX-90 – TAA 1000BASE-SX SFP 500m Multimode

Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-SPSX-90 is a TAA-compliant 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber at distances up to 500 meters, operating at 850nm with an LC duplex connector. The -90 designation confirms compliance with the Trade Agreements Act, qualifying the module for U.S. federal procurement under GSA schedules and FED-compliant contracts. It is hot-swappable, allowing installation and replacement on a live switch without service interruption. As an entry-level GbE multimode SFP, it provides a cost-effective option for standard commercial and government deployments.

Description

The AT-SPSX-90 delivers standard 1000BASE-SX performance in a TAA-compliant package at an entry-level price point. The 850nm wavelength is the established standard for short-reach multimode GbE, compatible with OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure. At 500 meters maximum reach, it covers the majority of intra-building fiber runs and many inter-building links on modern campus networks. The LC duplex connector matches standard multimode SFP patch cords, simplifying installation with no adapters required. TAA compliance is confirmed by the -90 suffix, making the module eligible for federal agency purchases and government contracts where country-of-origin requirements apply. FED compliance further qualifies it for specific federal programs. Hot-swap support allows a failed or end-of-life transceiver to be replaced on a running switch, minimizing unplanned downtime. For procurement officers standardizing on TAA optics across a fleet of Allied Telesis switches, the AT-SPSX-90 provides a straightforward, compliant, and cost-controlled option for the most common multimode GbE use case. Available from Creation Networks for single-unit and volume federal orders.
