Fortinet FR-TRAN-ZX 1GE SFP 1550 nm 90 km | SFP Module, Enterprise

Keep critical network links alive over distances where standard optics fall short. The Fortinet FR-TRAN-ZX is a 1GE SFP transceiver designed for long-reach optical networking, delivering 1000Base-ZX connectivity over single-mode fiber with a rated distance of up to 90 km. That makes it a strong fit for campus interconnects, remote buildings, and metro aggregation where link stability matters more than cost-per-port. This module uses an LC connector and 1550 nm wavelength, aligning with common long-distance fiber infrastructure. Its operating range of -40 C to 85 C supports deployments in environments where temperature swings can challenge conventional transceivers. For teams standardizing on Fortinet switching, it is specified for compatibility with the FortiSwitch Rugged FSR-112D-POE Switch and other systems with SFP slots. When the network design calls for fewer hops, fewer active devices, and a cleaner optical path, a ZX optic like this helps preserve signal integrity across extended runs. It is a practical choice for infrastructure teams that need long-distance Gigabit Ethernet without moving to a more complex platform.
