Alcatel-Lucent 3HE00027CA 01 1000BASE-SX SFP Optical Transceiver

The Alcatel-Lucent 3HE00027CA 01 is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications over multimode fiber infrastructure. Operating at a wavelength of 850 nm, the module supports data transmission at 1.25 Gbit/s and complies with IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard for short-reach optical connectivity in enterprise and carrier networks. The transceiver features a duplex LC connector interface, ensuring compatibility with standard structured cabling systems deployed in telecommunications facilities and data centers. With a maximum transmission distance of 550 meters on OM2 multimode fiber, the module is optimized for campus backbone, horizontal cabling, and intra-data center connectivity applications. The module incorporates digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) capabilities per SFF-8472 specification, enabling real-time access to operational parameters including temperature, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, received optical power, and supply voltage. Hot-pluggable design allows for non-disruptive replacement and maintenance in live network environments without powering down host equipment. The transceiver utilizes VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology for efficient optical signal generation and low power consumption. It is designed for deployment in Alcatel-Lucent optical transport platforms, switches, and routers supporting SFP MSA-compliant slots. Management and provisioning are performed through a two-wire serial interface (I2C), ensuring seamless integration with network management systems. This module is suitable for enterprise LAN backbones, storage area networks, and high-speed server connectivity requiring reliable short-distance optical transmission.
