Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates on 1000Base-LX technology, enabling Gigabit Ethernet transmission over optical fiber with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbps. It uses an LC duplex connector interface and supports a reach distance of up to 10 kilometers, making it suitable for medium to long-range network links.
The module includes DOM functionality for real-time monitoring of optical performance parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power. This allows network administrators to proactively manage link health and troubleshoot connectivity issues without physical inspection.
This section brings together practical product details such as Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Connector Type, Interfaces/Ports Details, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The hot-pluggable design allows for installation and removal without powering down the switch, minimizing network downtime during maintenance or upgrades. DOM support delivers essential diagnostic data for proactive network management, reducing mean time to repair for fiber link issues.
Broad Fiber Compatibility
Supports both single-mode and multi-mode fiber types, providing flexibility for diverse network environments and simplifying inventory management.
Regulatory Compliance
TAA compliance ensures eligibility for U.S. federal, state, and local government contracts, expanding procurement opportunities for public sector deployments.
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for expanding SMC TigerSwitch and TigerStack networks in enterprise, education, and government environments where reliable Gigabit Ethernet over fiber is required. The 10 km reach supports medium-distance connections between buildings or across campuses without signal degradation.
Common applications include connecting network switches in distributed offices, linking network operations centers to remote equipment rooms, and providing high-speed uplinks for access layer aggregation. The module's compatibility with both fiber types allows deployment in legacy multi-mode installations or newer single-mode backbone networks.
Data Center Interconnect
Connect servers, storage arrays, and core switches within data centers using 10 km fiber runs, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity between racks or buildings.
Campus Network Backbone
Extend Gigabit Ethernet links across campus environments, connecting administrative buildings, academic facilities, and residential halls over existing fiber infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP transceiver?
This AddOn SMC1GSFP-LX-AO transceiver supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-LX) technology with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). It provides high-speed connectivity for data networking applications over optical fiber, delivering up to 10 times the performance of standard Fast Ethernet connections.
What types of fiber does this transceiver support?
The transceiver is compatible with both single-mode and multi-mode optical fiber cables. This dual-mode support provides deployment flexibility across different network environments, allowing integration with existing multi-mode installations or newer single-mode backbone infrastructures without requiring separate transceiver models.
What is the maximum distance this SFP can transmit data?
This 1000Base-LX SFP transceiver supports a maximum reach distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) over optical fiber. This makes it suitable for medium to long-range network links such as campus backbones, building-to-building connections, and data center interconnects where extended distance coverage is required.
What switches is this transceiver compatible with?
The AddOn SMC1GSFP-LX-AO is specifically designed for compatibility with SMC TigerSwitches and SMC TigerStacks switching platforms. It provides a cost-effective upgrade solution for expanding fiber connectivity on these SMC network devices without replacing the entire switch infrastructure.
What does DOM monitoring provide for this transceiver?
DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) enables real-time monitoring of key optical performance parameters including temperature, voltage, transmit power, receive power, and laser bias current. This diagnostic capability allows network administrators to proactively monitor link health, identify potential issues before they cause outages, and troubleshoot connectivity problems without physical inspection of the fiber connections.
Is this transceiver hot-pluggable?
Yes, this SFP transceiver features a hot-pluggable design that allows installation or removal while the switch remains powered on and operational. This capability minimizes network downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or replacement procedures, enabling seamless integration into live network environments without disrupting connected services.
