Why Choose Our Redback Compatible Transceivers?

Programmed for Redback Compatibility

Our Redback compatible transceivers are programmed and tested for reliable interoperability with supported Redback networking equipment.

Compatibility depends on the exact router, traffic card, interface type, software version, data rate, wavelength, fiber type, and transceiver specification.

SFP, XFP & GBIC Options

Redback SmartEdge platforms have used multiple removable transceiver formats across different traffic cards and generations, including:

GBIC
SFP
XFP
Gigabit Ethernet Optics
10 Gigabit Ethernet Optics
Copper Ethernet Modules
SONET / SDH Optics
CWDM Optics

Gigabit Ethernet SFP

Redback compatible SFP modules provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for supported SmartEdge interfaces.

Available options include:

SFP-GE-SX
SFP-GE-LX
SFP-GE-ZX
SFP-GE-TX
Multimode Fiber
Single-Mode Fiber
Extended-Reach Fiber
RJ45 Copper

1000BASE-SX

Redback compatible 1000BASE-SX transceivers provide short-reach Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber.

These modules are suitable for:

Equipment Rooms
Telecommunications Facilities
Data Centers
Aggregation Networks
Short-Distance Fiber Connections

1000BASE-LX

Redback compatible SFP-GE-LX modules provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber.

A common SFP-GE-LX specification uses:

1Gbps Ethernet
1310nm Wavelength
Single-Mode Fiber
LC Duplex Connector
Up to 10km Reach
Digital Diagnostics

Extended-Reach SFP-GE-ZX

Redback compatible SFP-GE-ZX transceivers provide extended-distance Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber.

Depending on the replacement module, options can include approximately:

40km Reach
80km Reach
1550nm Wavelength
LC Duplex
Single-Mode Fiber

RJ45 Copper Connectivity

Redback compatible copper transceivers provide Ethernet connectivity using standard twisted-pair cabling.

Compatible options can include:

SFP-GE-TX
Gigabit Copper SFP
RJ45 SFP
1000BASE-T
Copper GBIC

10 Gigabit Ethernet

Selected Redback SmartEdge traffic cards use XFP transceivers for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Compatible 10G optical options can provide:

Short-Reach Fiber
Long-Reach Fiber
Extended-Reach Fiber
Multimode Fiber
Single-Mode Fiber
LC Duplex Connectivity

SONET / SDH Transceivers

Redback compatible optical modules are also available for selected SONET and SDH applications.

Examples include:

SFP-OC3-MM
SFP-OC3-SM
OC-3
STM-1
Multimode Fiber
Single-Mode Fiber

This makes the Redback category particularly relevant for legacy telecommunications and carrier networking infrastructure.

CWDM Transceivers

Redback compatible CWDM transceivers provide wavelength-specific connectivity for applications requiring increased fiber capacity.

Available options can include multiple CWDM wavelengths such as:

1470nm
1490nm
1510nm
1530nm
1550nm
1570nm
1590nm

Always verify the exact OEM part number and SmartEdge interface requirements before ordering.

Compatible Redback Platforms

Our compatible transceivers are designed for selected interfaces on supported:

Redback SmartEdge Routers
Redback SmartEdge 1200
Redback SmartEdge Traffic Cards
Redback Gigabit Ethernet Traffic Cards
Redback GE3 Traffic Cards
Redback GE1020 Traffic Cards
Redback 10 Gigabit Ethernet Traffic Cards
Redback Broadband Aggregation Equipment
Redback Carrier Networking Equipment
Legacy Redback Networks Infrastructure

Compatibility varies by traffic card and interface.

Always verify the exact Redback SmartEdge model, traffic card, port type, data rate, wavelength, connector, fiber type, and transmission distance before ordering.

Redback Networks & Ericsson

Redback Networks became part of Ericsson, and many installed SmartEdge systems, replacement parts, documentation, and transceiver searches continue to use the Redback name.

Customers may therefore search using terms such as:

Redback Compatible SFP
Redback Networks Compatible Transceiver
Ericsson Redback Compatible SFP
Ericsson SmartEdge Transceiver
Redback SmartEdge SFP
Redback SmartEdge XFP

When replacing an optical module, always match the exact equipment, traffic card, and transceiver requirements rather than assuming all Ericsson and Redback modules are interchangeable.
