  • Hot-pluggable SFP MSA design enables tool-free installation
  • Low-EMI construction reduces interference in dense racks

TEG-MGBSX SFP transceiver for Gigabit links

This TRENDnet SFP module delivers up to 1.25 Gbps over multi-mode fibre using an 850 nm wavelength. It suits network engineers extending Gigabit Ethernet between switches or servers across campus or building runs. The hot-pluggable Mini-GBIC form factor fits standard SFP cages without powering down equipment.

Verify switch cage and fibre type before ordering

Confirm the host device accepts SFP modules compliant with the MSA specification and IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet. The link requires duplex multi-mode fibre terminated with LC connectors; single-mode cable will not work. Ensure the total channel length stays within the 550 metre reach supported by this transceiver.

Low-EMI metal housing with duplex LC interface

The silver enclosure weighs .3850 kg and meets ANSI Fibre Channel mechanical requirements for durable rack use. Duplex LC connectors latch securely, reducing accidental disconnects during cable management. Hot-plug capability allows module swaps during maintenance windows without interrupting adjacent ports. Lifetime protection covers the hardware for the product's service life.

Questions about this item

Does the TEG-MGBSX come with any patch cables or mounting hardware, or are those purchased separately?

The module itself is the only item supplied; duplex LC patch cables and any rack brackets are sold separately.

The listing shows a single model — are there different reach or speed versions I should compare?

This SKU is the 850 nm multi-mode variant rated for 550 m at 1.25 Gbps; TRENDnet offers other SFP modules for longer reach or single-mode fibre, but they carry different part numbers.

Will the 1.25 Gbps rating deliver a full gigabit link once the module is installed in a switch?

Yes — the transceiver complies with IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet, so it negotiates a 1 Gbps link over multi-mode fibre up to the rated 550 m distance.
