Cable Matters 1000BASE-SX SFP LC Multi Mode 1G Transceiver 2-Pack

SKU CH-J6HR-8890M

Two-pack of hot-pluggable SFP transceivers for 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet over multimode LC fiber up to 550m with MSA-compliant equipment

  • Product typeNetwork Transceivers
  • Connects SFP devices to multimode LC fiber networks for NAS, SAN, and HPC
  • Works with MSA-compliant gear from Cisco, Ubiquiti, TP-Link, Huawei, Mikrotik, Netgear, Supermicro
  • Low power draw and EMI with hot-pluggable design and ESD protection
  • Reaches up to 550m for 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet over fiber
  • Supports both 62.5um and 50um LC cables across OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4

1000BASE-SX SFP Transceiver 2-Pack

This two-pack provides a pair of 1000BASE-SX SFP modules with LC duplex connectors for multimode fiber links. Each transceiver connects a switch, server or NIC to a Gigabit fiber channel network. The hot-pluggable design allows installation without powering down compatible equipment.

MSA Compatibility and Cable Support

The modules follow the Multi-Source Agreement standard for use with listed vendors including Cisco, Ubiquiti, TP-Link, Huawei, Mikrotik, Netgear and Supermicro. They accept both 62.5µm and 50µm LC cables and support OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4 fiber types. Low power consumption and advanced ESD protection are built in.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your host device has an available SFP port and that the link distance does not exceed 550 metres for 1000BASE-SX operation. Confirm the existing fiber patch cables use LC duplex connectors and match the supported multimode categories. Ensure the target equipment is listed as MSA compliant for proper recognition.

Questions about this item

Will the LC connector or the transceiver itself need replacement after extended use in a data room?

The modules are hot-pluggable with advanced ESD protection, so a failed unit can be swapped without powering down the switch. The LC connectors on 62.5µm or 50µm patch cords are the parts most likely to need cleaning or replacement over time.

What distance limit appears first when running 1000BASE-SX links continuously?

The 1000BASE-SX standard caps reach at 550 metres over multimode fibre; beyond that the signal degrades regardless of how long the transceivers stay powered.

How much heat or power draw should I expect from both modules running all day in a switch?

The design targets low power consumption and low EMI emission, so heat output stays minimal even with both transceivers active 24/7.
