Moxa Managed Ethernet Switch/Extender Featured Functions

Monitor by SFP
Optical fiber is commonly used for long distance data transmission. However, when link issues occur, it is very
costly to trouble shoot the fiber cable and fiber transceiver at remote sites. To solve this problem, Moxa
industrial Ethernet switches provide digital diagnostic and monitoring functions on Moxa SFP optical fiber links
and allow users to measure optical parameters and its performance from center site. This function can greatly
facilitate the trouble shooting process for optical fiber links and reduce costs for onsite debug.
