1Gbps 1000BASE-SX Connectivity
The AGM731F supports 1Gbps Ethernet using the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard. This standard is designed for Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode optical fiber and is widely deployed in enterprise and data-center networks.
The optical module provides full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet operation, allowing simultaneous transmission and reception of network traffic over separate optical fibers.
850nm Multimode Fiber
The AGM731F is an 850nm multimode fiber transceiver. It is designed for common multimode fiber infrastructure such as OM1, OM3 and OM4.
Fiber grade has a direct effect on the maximum supported link distance. OM4 provides the longest specified reach for this module, while older OM1 infrastructure supports shorter distances.
Transmission Distance
NETGEAR specifies the following maximum operating distances for AGM731F:
| Fiber Type | Maximum Distance |
|---|
| 50/125µm OM4 | Up to 1,000m |
| 50/125µm OM3 | Up to 550m |
| 62.5/125µm OM1 | Up to 275m |
These distances are based on NETGEAR's published specifications. Actual link distance can vary according to fiber attenuation, connector loss, patch panels, splices and installation quality. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Duplex LC Connector
The AGM731F uses a duplex LC optical connector. The two LC interfaces provide separate transmit and receive optical paths for the full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Use a compatible multimode LC-to-LC fiber patch cable or appropriate fiber infrastructure when deploying the module.
Standard SFP Form Factor
The AGM731F uses the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) form factor. This compact design allows compatible NETGEAR switches to support modular fiber connectivity without requiring dedicated fixed fiber ports.
NETGEAR describes the AGM731F as a plug-in SFP module and specifies it as hot-swappable. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
NETGEAR Switch Compatibility
NETGEAR specifies AGM731F for compatible managed and smart switches with SFP interfaces. NETGEAR's support documentation also lists AGM731F as a supported 1000BASE-SX module for selected M6100 series switches. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
NETGEAR additionally lists AGM731F among the supported 1G fiber SFP modules for selected newer smart-switch platforms. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Always check the exact switch model and firmware compatibility before installation.
Gigabit Fiber Networking
The AGM731F is an effective choice for extending Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. It can be used to connect switches located within the supported optical distance or to provide fiber uplinks from compatible managed switching platforms.
- Switch-to-switch uplinks
- Distribution-to-access switch connections
- Server-to-switch links
- Data-center rack connectivity
- Campus network links
- Enterprise LAN fiber uplinks
Hot-Swappable Design
The AGM731F is designed for convenient installation in compatible SFP interfaces. NETGEAR's installation guide specifies that the module can be inserted into an SFP slot and removed using its integrated latch mechanism. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Low Power Consumption
NETGEAR specifies approximately 1.1W power consumption for the AGM731F. This relatively low power requirement makes it suitable for high-density switch environments where many SFP ports may be populated simultaneously. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
