FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this SFP transceiver?
This Cisco MGBSX1-RF transceiver supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, delivering up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) data transfer rates over multimode fiber optic cable using 1000Base-SX technology. It enables high-bandwidth networking for applications requiring fast and reliable optical connections.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this transceiver?
The transceiver is designed for use with multimode optical fiber cable. Multimode fiber has a thicker core diameter that carries multiple light wavelengths, supporting high bandwidth over shorter distances. It is not compatible with singlemode fiber, which is used for longer reaches.
What is the maximum distance this transceiver can support?
This SFP transceiver supports a maximum reach of 0.55 kilometers (approximately 550 meters) over multimode fiber. This distance is typical for 1000Base-SX applications within buildings or across campus environments, making it suitable for intra-facility network links.
Which Cisco switches are compatible with this transceiver?
The transceiver is compatible with specific Cisco switch models including the SR2024 24-port Gigabit Switch, SR224G 24-port 10/100 + Gigabit Switch, SRW2016 16-port Gigabit Switch with WebView, SRW2024 24-port Gigabit Switch with WebView, and SRW224 24-port 10/100 + 2-port Gigabit Switch with WebView. Always verify compatibility with your specific switch model before deployment.
