What this SFP module does

The StarTech EXSFP1GESXST is a hot-swappable SFP transceiver built for 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fibre. It carries a 850nm wavelength and connects through an LC duplex port, delivering 1.25 Gbps transfer rate up to 550 m. The module is guaranteed compatible with Juniper EX-SFP-1GE-SX equipment and meets MSA standards for interoperability.

Sustained load behaviour

DDM support lets the host monitor optical power, temperature and voltage in real time so link health stays visible during continuous traffic. Power draw remains below 1 W, keeping thermal contribution minimal inside a fully populated switch. The transceiver operates reliably from 0 to 70 degree C, matching the 32 to 158 degree F range specified for normal service.

Thermals noise and power

With no moving parts the unit adds zero acoustic noise to the rack. Typical consumption stays under 1 W, well within the headroom of standard SFP cages. Storage tolerance stretches from -40 to 85 degree C (-40 to 185 degree F) and 5 to 95 percent relative humidity, so spares survive harsh spares cabinets without degradation.

Questions about this item

How much heat will the EXSFP1GESXST add when it runs continuously at 70 °C ambient?

The module draws under 1 watt, so its heat contribution is minimal even at the top of the 0–70 °C operating range.

What must my switch provide for this transceiver to operate?

An SFP slot that accepts LC duplex multimode fibre and supports the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard.

Will the EXSFP1GESXST link with legacy 1000BASE-SX gear over OM1 fibre?

Yes, it complies with the same 850 nm multimode standard and reaches 550 m on OM2, while OM1 supports shorter runs.
