NETGEAR SFP 1G Ethernet Fiber Module for Managed Switches

The NETGEAR AGM731F SFP Module is a 1G Ethernet fiber transceiver with an LC duplex connector, compatible with SFP/GBIC-compliant slots. Housed in a robust metal casing, the module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a typical power consumption of 0.5 W at 3.3 V. Its compact dimensions (57 mm x 13.8 mm x 8.5 mm) and an MTBF of 87,658 hours make it suitable for integration into managed switches and other network equipment requiring reliable single-mode fiber links up to 1000 m.

Advantages

The AGM731F provides standardized SFP/GBIC compatibility and an LC duplex fiber connector for straightforward installation into compatible switch ports. The metal housing offers mechanical durability and thermal stability, while the low power consumption supports efficient operation in rack-mounted and managed switch environments. Compact size simplifies port-density planning in data centers and wiring closets.

Suitable for

• Upgrading managed switches with SFP/GBIC slots
• Establishing single-mode fiber links up to 1000 m
• Replacing or expanding fiber ports in network closets and server rooms

How to use

Insert the AGM731F module into an empty SFP/GBIC-compliant slot on a powered-down or hot-swappable compatible switch following the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect a compatible LC duplex fiber patch cable to the module, observing correct TX/RX orientation. After insertion, verify link status on the switch and configure the switch port settings (speed/duplex and optical parameters) as required by your network design.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC duplex fiber cables rated for the intended distance and ensure proper handling to avoid bending losses. Verify compatibility with your switch model and firmware; consult NETGEAR documentation for any vendor-specific settings or compatibility notes.
