Axiom MGBIC-LC08-AX SFP Transceiver Module 1000Base-ZX LC Single-Mode 1550 Nm 43.5 Miles

SKU CH-W933-AEHMK

A 1000Base-ZX SFP transceiver for single-mode fibre up to 43.5 miles at 1550 nm

  • Extends network reach up to 43.5 miles over single-mode fibre
  • Operates at 1550 nm wavelength for reliable long-haul links
  • Delivers 1000Base-ZX Gigabit Ethernet throughput
  • LC duplex connector ensures secure single-mode patching
  • 100% Enterasys compatible for drop-in deployment

What the module is and who it serves

The Axiom MGBIC-LC08-AX is a 1000Base-ZX SFP transceiver built for single-mode fibre links up to 43.5 miles at a 1550 nm wavelength. It targets network engineers extending gigabit Ethernet across campus or metro spans where copper cannot reach. The LC duplex connector fits standard switch and router cages, and the module is fully compatible with Enterasys equipment.

Installation and common pitfalls

The transceiver slides into any standard SFP port and locks with a bail latch, requiring no tools or software configuration. Clean the LC ferrules before mating to avoid insertion loss on the long single-mode path. Verify that the host device supports 1000Base-ZX optics; some older line cards only accept SX or LX modules and will not recognise this wavelength. Handle the module by the metal housing to protect the optical interface.

Who should buy it and who should not

This module suits operators who need a cost-effective, Enterasys-compatible ZX optic for point-to-point gigabit links beyond 10 kilometres. It is not for buyers who require multi-mode connectivity, shorter-reach SX or LX optics, or higher-speed 10G and 25G interfaces. Environments needing industrial-temperature ratings or CWDM/DWDM channel plans should look at specialised alternatives.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 1000Base-ZX link is operating at the full 43.5-mile reach after installation?

Verify the link light is solid on both ends and check the switch port statistics for zero CRC errors while traffic passes at 1000 Mbps across the single-mode fibre.

What cables or patch cords must I purchase separately to connect the LC single-mode transceiver?

You need LC-terminated single-mode fibre patch cords (OS2 recommended) matched to your patch-panel polarity; the transceiver itself ships without cables.

Which wavelength and distance variant should I select for a 43.5-mile single-mode run?

Choose the 1550 nm 1000Base-ZX module listed here; it is the only version in this series rated for that reach.
