Cisco-compatible SFP module

The StarTech SFPGLCLHSMST is a hot-swappable SFP transceiver built for 1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet links. It targets network engineers who need a drop-in replacement for the Cisco GLC-LH-SM in switches and routers. The module operates at 1310 nm over single-mode fibre up to 10 km and multi-mode fibre up to 550 m. It suits campus, metro and enterprise LAN extensions.

IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH compliance

The decisive specification is IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH compliance, which guarantees interoperability with any switch port that follows the same standard. The LC duplex receptacle accepts standard patch cords, and the 1.25 Gbps line rate matches the Gigabit Ethernet PHY. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 70 °C, while storage spans -40 to 85 °C. Humidity tolerance is 30 to 70 % RH non-condensing.

Build integration and MSA flexibility

The transceiver fits any MSA-compliant SFP cage, so it works in Cisco IE3400, IE3300, IE3200, ME1200 and ME2400 models as well as Ubiquiti, D-Link, Netgear, Supermicro and TP-Link switches that accept uncoded modules. Hot-swap support lets technicians add or replace links without powering down the chassis. Using single-mode fibre frees up bandwidth for long-haul runs, while multi-mode support covers shorter patch-panel hops. No extra licensing or firmware steps are required.
