Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the connector and patch lead before installation, then support the fiber without pulling on the module housing. Release the latch properly during maintenance and keep dust protection on unused interfaces. If a module is removed for later use, retain its part-number label and record its original port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 100Mbps, wavelength 1550nm, rated reach 80km.
Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The High-Speed interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
Wavelength-selective links require the exact channel plan at both ends. Confirm that filters pass 1550nm, then include their insertion loss in the 80km power budget. A nearby channel is not a substitute for the specified wavelength.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -3~2dBm; receiver sensitivity is < -34dBm. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
H3C Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification starts with the expected SFP-FE-LH80-SM1550 identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original H3C transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies SFP-FE-LH80-SM1550, not an original H3C-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Duplex LC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 80km, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Ordering Information
Use SFP-FE-LH80-SM1550 as the compatibility cross-reference and SFP-100ZX-55 as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
