Five-pack SFP transceiver kit

This five-pack supplies five SFP transceivers built to the GLC-SX-MMD compatible specification for Cisco equipment. Each module delivers 1000Base-SX connectivity over multi-mode fibre at 850nm wavelength with LC connectors. The transceivers are rated for 0 to 70C operating temperature and carry TAA compliance.

Hot-swap modules with DOM

The hot-swappable SFP form factor allows insertion or removal without powering down the switch or router. Digital optical monitoring is included, giving real-time visibility of temperature, voltage and optical power levels. Multi-mode fibre support reaches 550m, and the 1000Base-SX interface provides up to 1000Mbps data transfer over optical cable.

Suits network builds needing multiple SX links

Network teams deploying or expanding Cisco-compatible 1-Gigabit multi-mode links across racks or floors will find the five-pack convenient. Buyers who require single-mode reach, higher speeds or a different connector type should look at other transceiver models.

Questions about this item

Will the LC connectors or the SFP housing need periodic cleaning or replacement in a 1-Gbps multi-mode link?

The LC duplex interface should be inspected and cleaned with a fibre scope and lint-free wipes whenever the link is re-patched; the SFP cage itself has no moving parts and does not wear out.

What limits continuous throughput on a 550 m multi-mode run at 850 nm?

The 1000Base-SX optics are rated for 550 m on OM2/OM3 multi-mode fibre; beyond that distance attenuation and modal dispersion become the limiting factors.

How much heat does each transceiver add inside a switch chassis running at 70 °C ambient?

Each module operates from 0 to 70 °C and draws only the power allowed by the SFP MSA low-power class, so thermal load per port is minimal.
