About This Part
The Nokia Part Number 473842A is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver engineered for robust, short-reach data transmission within demanding telecom and data centre environments. This specific Nokia module is designed to operate at a data rate of 9.8Gbps, utilizing an 850nm wavelength over multimode (MM) fiber, providing a maximum reach of 300 meters. As an integral component often associated with Nokia's FOUC (Fiber Optic Unit Card) systems, it facilitates the critical conversion of electrical signals to optical signals and vice-versa, ensuring reliable and high-bandwidth interconnections between network elements. Its compact SFP form factor allows for hot-swappable deployment, optimizing network flexibility and maintenance efficiency. This transceiver is typically deployed in scenarios requiring high-speed, low-latency optical connectivity, such as within mobile backhaul networks, access network aggregation points, and intra-data centre links. It serves as a vital component in connecting network equipment like switches, routers, and base station units where efficient data transfer is paramount. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and large enterprise data centre operators leverage this module to support the increasing demands of aggregated data traffic. The Nokia 473842A effectively addresses the need for reliable, high-capacity short-distance optical links, enabling operators to upgrade or expand their existing infrastructure without extensive re-cabling or significant network overhauls. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing cost-effective, high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment, including units of the Nokia Part Number 473842A.
