Deployment / Use Cases
These transceivers are ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks over singlemode fiber in scenarios requiring high bandwidth and long-distance connectivity. Common applications include connecting switches and routers across buildings, linking data center racks, or establishing backbone links in campus networks.
The 5-pack format is particularly useful for IT teams managing large-scale deployments, such as upgrading multiple network devices or provisioning new fiber links in enterprise or service provider environments. The compatibility with Cisco GLC-LH-SMD makes them a versatile drop-in replacement for existing infrastructure.
Data Center Interconnects
Use for high-speed links between switches and servers over singlemode fiber, supporting low-latency data transfers and storage networking.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Deploy in office buildings or campuses to connect network closets, providing reliable Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 10km.
Physical Profile
Each transceiver has a compact depth of 2.20 inches (55.88 mm), fitting standard SFP slots in switches, routers, and network interface cards. The hot-swappable design allows for easy insertion and removal without tools, facilitating quick maintenance and upgrades.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.20" (55.88 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the speed and reach of this SFP transceiver?
This transceiver supports 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet, delivering data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps over singlemode fiber optic cables. It has a maximum reach distance of 10 kilometers, making it suitable for long-distance network links in enterprise or data center environments.
Is this transceiver compatible with Cisco equipment?
Yes, it is designed as a compatible replacement for the Cisco GLC-LH-SMD SFP transceiver. It can be used in Cisco switches, routers, and other network devices that support the GLC-LH-SMD form factor and 1000Base-LX technology over singlemode fiber.
What type of fiber and connector does it use?
It uses singlemode fiber optic cable with an LC connector. Singlemode fiber supports longer distances and higher bandwidth compared to multimode, and the LC connector is a standard duplex interface for reliable optical connections in data networking applications.
Does it include DOM monitoring?
Yes, it features DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) support, which provides real-time diagnostics for parameters like optical power, temperature, and voltage. This allows network administrators to monitor transceiver health and performance proactively, aiding in troubleshooting and maintenance.
What is the warranty and compliance status?
It comes with a lifetime limited warranty from AddOn, ensuring long-term reliability and support. It is also TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets requirements for U.S. government procurement contracts, and it is manufactured in the United States.
How many transceivers are included in the pack?
This is a 5-pack, containing five identical SFP transceivers. This bulk packaging is cost-effective for deploying multiple fiber links simultaneously, such as in network upgrades or large-scale installations, and ensures consistency across all connections.
