FAQ
What type of fiber optic cable does this SFP module support?
This SFP transceiver module supports singlemode fiber optic cable. Singlemode fiber uses a single wavelength of light to transmit data over longer distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for connections up to 10 kilometers. The module is optimized for 1310 nm wavelength operation, which is standard for 1000Base-LX applications over singlemode fiber.
What is the maximum distance this SFP module can support?
The Ortronics GLC-LX-SM-RGD-A SFP module supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) over singlemode fiber optic cable. This extended reach capability makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across campus environments, between buildings, or in distributed network architectures where longer fiber runs are required.
Is this SFP module compatible with Cisco networking equipment?
Yes, this SFP transceiver module is designed for compatibility with Cisco networking equipment. It can be used in Cisco switches, routers, and other network devices that support standard SFP modules. The module follows the Cisco-compatible design specifications, ensuring reliable operation in Cisco-based network infrastructures without requiring special configuration or firmware updates.
What connector type does this SFP module use?
This SFP module features an LC duplex connector interface. The LC connector is a small form-factor fiber optic connector that provides secure termination for fiber optic cables. The duplex configuration means it has separate transmit and receive channels, which is standard for bidirectional fiber optic communication in networking applications.
