1 Gbps SFP transceiver for Cisco gear

This Brute Networks SFP module delivers 1 Gbps throughput over multi-mode fibre at an 850 nm wavelength. It targets network engineers who need a cost-effective way to populate Cisco SFP switches or routers with 1000BASE-SX links up to 550 metres. The part is coded for full Cisco compatibility and MSA compliance.

Extended temperature range -5 to 85 °C

The transceiver operates across an extended temperature span of -5 to 85 °C without active cooling. Digital optical monitoring reports real-time power, temperature and voltage data so administrators can track link health. Low power draw keeps thermal load minimal inside dense chassis.

LC duplex connector and DOM support

A standard LC duplex connector simplifies patch-cord management in existing multi-mode plant. Built-in digital optical monitoring lets management software read received and transmitted optical power, module temperature and supply voltage. Lifetime warranty covers the part for its service life.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFP-GE-S transceiver and what step is commonly missed?

Slide the module into an SFP slot until it clicks, then insert the LC duplex cables fully until they latch; the step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the transceiver ports and the cable ferrules before connecting.

What maintenance or replacement will the SFP-GE-S need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if link errors appear, clean the LC connectors with a fibre cleaning pen and re-seat the module, otherwise the transceiver runs for its service life without user-serviceable parts.

What limit appears first when the SFP-GE-S runs continuously at full load?

The 550 m reach on 850 nm multi-mode fibre is the first constraint; beyond that distance the optical budget is exceeded and errors increase regardless of the 1000 Mbps line rate.
