Description

The FR-TRAN-ZX-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Fortinet FR-TRAN-ZX. This industrial-grade SFP transceiver operates plug-and-play in Fortinet ruggedized platforms with SFP slots, delivering 1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fibre. - IEEE 802.3z compliance guarantees interoperability with standard Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure using 1000BASE-LX/ZX specifications - 1550nm wavelength transmission over single-mode fibre with reach up to 70-90km depending on fibre quality and link loss - Industrial temperature rating from -40°C to 85°C supports deployment in harsh outdoor and ruggedized environments - Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) provides real-time access to transmit power, receive power, temperature, voltage and bias current - SFP MSA compliant form factor with duplex LC connector and hot-swappable capability for zero-downtime servicing - Suitable for metro-reach links, campus backbone extension, telco aggregation and ruggedized industrial Ethernet applications

Features

• IEEE 802.3z compliance ensures compatibility with standard Gigabit Ethernet equipment regardless of vendor, using 8b/10b encoding at 1.25 Gbps line rate
• 1550nm DFB laser transmitter with PIN photodiode receiver optimized for low dispersion and loss over extended single-mode fibre spans
• Industrial temperature rating (-40°C to 85°C) enables deployment in outdoor cabinets, remote field sites, transportation infrastructure and manufacturing environments where commercial-grade optics fail
• Digital Optical Monitoring exposes five real-time parameters (TX power, RX power, temperature, VCC, bias current) via I2C for proactive link health monitoring and troubleshooting
• Hot-pluggable SFP MSA form factor allows in-service module replacement without disrupting adjacent ports or requiring system shutdown
• 1550nm wavelength selection provides lower attenuation than 1310nm alternatives, enabling metro-scale reach over OS1/OS2 single-mode fibre with standard 9/125µm core

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Fortinet FR-TRAN-ZX?
A: Yes. The FR-TRAN-ZX-BCC is a direct replacement based on IEEE 802.3z, matching the original's 1550nm wavelength, 1.25 Gbps data rate, SFP form factor, and industrial temperature specification. It operates plug-and-play in any Fortinet platform with SFP slots that lists FR-TRAN-ZX as supported.

Q: Which Fortinet platforms support this transceiver?
A: This module is designed for Fortinet ruggedized products with SFP slots, including FR-series (FortiGate Rugged) switches and security appliances rated for industrial environments. Any Fortinet device listing FR-TRAN-ZX compatibility will accept this module. Confirm platform compatibility by checking your device's transceiver support list or datasheet.

Q: What fibre type and reach can I expect with this 1550nm ZX transceiver?
A: This transceiver requires single-mode fibre (SMF) with 9/125µm core. Typical reach is 70-90km over OS1 or OS2 fibre depending on link budget. Actual distance is determined by fibre attenuation (dB/km), splice loss, connector quality and patch panel count. Use clean LC/UPC connectors and verify link loss is within the module's power budget for reliable operation at maximum span.

Q: Can I use this in short-distance links under 10km?
A: Yes, but fibre attenuation of 5dB or more is recommended for distances below 10km to prevent receiver overload. The 1550nm wavelength and high transmit power optimized for 70-90km spans can saturate the receiver on short links with low loss. Add an inline LC fibre attenuator (5-10dB) or use fibre with sufficient native loss to stay within receiver damage threshold.

Q: What does the industrial temperature rating mean for deployment?
A: The -40°C to 85°C operating range allows installation in non-climate-controlled locations such as outdoor enclosures, roadside cabinets, rail systems, mining sites and manufacturing floors. This is significantly wider than commercial-grade optics (0°C to 70°C) and prevents thermal-related failures in extreme conditions. The FR-series designation indicates Fortinet ruggedized compatibility for harsh-environment applications.
