Axiom GLC-TE-AX SFP Transceiver

The Axiom GLC-TE-AX is a Small Form-factor Pluggable transceiver built for 1000BASE-EX links over single-mode fibre. It targets network engineers who need to extend Gigabit Ethernet connections across campus or metro distances using standard LC duplex cabling. The module arrives pre-coded for Cisco equipment and carries a unique serialisation that prevents address conflicts in dense chassis deployments.

40 km reach at 1310 nm wavelength

Operating at 1310 nm, the transceiver delivers a 1000 Mbps data rate across spans up to 40 km, providing ample headroom for building-to-building or campus backbone runs. Signal budget is consumed by fibre attenuation, connector loss and patch-panel margins; beyond the rated distance the link will drop packets or fail to establish, so accurate loss budgeting is essential before deployment.

SFP MSA compliance and LC duplex interface

The module follows the multi-source agreement, allowing it to operate in any MSA-compliant switch or router slot without vendor lock-in. Its LC duplex connector mates with standard single-mode patch cords, but the SFP cage itself limits density compared to newer QSFP form factors. Users requiring higher port counts or 10 Gbps speeds must select a different transceiver family.

Questions about this item

Will the GLC-TE-AX work with my existing LC patch cords and 1310 nm single-mode fibre plant?

Yes, the transceiver uses an LC duplex connector and operates at 1310 nm, so it connects directly to standard single-mode patch cords already in your rack.

What front-panel indicators confirm the module is linked at 1000BASE-EX after I install it?

The host switch will show a solid link LED on the SFP port and the port status will report 1000 Mb/s full-duplex once the 40 km link is established.

Does the package include the LC fibre cables or must I order them separately?

Only the SFP transceiver module is supplied; LC duplex single-mode patch cords for the 40 km run must be purchased separately.
