Fortinet 2.5GbE SFP Long-Range Transceiver Module, 25km SMF (FN-TRAN-SFP2-LX)

The FN-TRAN-SFP2-LX carries a 2.5-gigabit Ethernet link over long-distance single-mode fibre. It is a 2500BASE-X module operating at 1310nm on a duplex LC connector, reaching 25km, which makes it the long-range counterpart to the multimode FN-TRAN-SFP2-SX. The 2.5GbE rate is a useful middle step between 1G and 10G, common for multi-gig access uplinks and Wi-Fi 6/6E aggregation. It fits SFP and SFP+ cages on FortiGate, FortiSwitch, and FortiManager appliances that support 2.5G optics, and as a Fortinet-qualified module it passes the appliance’s transceiver check.

Specifications

Where this module fits

Use the SFP2-LX where a 2.5GbE link needs to travel a long single-mode span, up to 25km: aggregating multi-gigabit access switches or FortiAP Wi-Fi 6/6E uplinks back to a FortiGate or FortiSwitch across a campus or metro run. The 2.5G rate lets you exceed 1GbE without jumping to 10G optics and cabling. For a short multimode reach at the same 2.5G rate, use the FN-TRAN-SFP2-SX instead.

Compatibility

Fits the 2.5G-capable SFP/SFP+ ports of FortiGate, FortiSwitch, and FortiManager appliances (confirm the port supports 2.5GbE). Use OS2 single-mode duplex LC fibre with a matching 2500BASE-X optic at the far end. For a 300m multimode link, the FN-TRAN-SFP2-SX is the counterpart; to step up to 10G, the FN-TRAN-SFP+LR covers 10km single-mode.
