SFP Transceiver for Single-Mode Fibre

The Transition Networks TN-GLC-LH-SM is a Small Form Factor Pluggable module built for Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel links over single-mode fibre. It suits network engineers extending campus or metro connections where copper reach is insufficient.

1310 nm Wavelength and LC Connector

This transceiver operates at a 1310 nm wavelength with a single LC 1000Base-LX port, delivering a 1.25 Gbps transfer rate. The specific wavelength and connector type determine link compatibility and must match the opposing endpoint exactly.

Class 1 Laser Safety Under Continuous Operation

The module complies with IEC 60825 Class 1 laser safety standards, meaning the optical output remains safe for direct exposure during sustained, long-haul transmission. MSA compliance ensures consistent mechanical and electrical behaviour across compliant switch and router slots.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.25 Gbps transfer rate mean for actual throughput in a Gigabit Ethernet link?

The 1.25 Gbps line rate matches the Gigabit Ethernet physical layer, so the module will sustain full wire-speed traffic across the single-mode fibre link.

Which MSA standard does the SFP follow and what does that guarantee for host compatibility?

The transceiver complies with the SFP Multi-Sourcing Agreement, ensuring mechanical and electrical fit in any standard SFP cage that accepts 1000Base-LX optics.

What are the exact dimensions I need to check against my switch port spacing?

The module measures 2.18" x 0.52" x 0.33", the standard SFP footprint that fits side-by-side in typical switch cages.
