Cisco Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base SX SFP Transceiver Module

The Cisco GLC-SX-MMD= is a Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module designed to provide reliable and fast network connectivity. It supports data transfer speeds up to 1Gbps, making it suitable for environments that require efficient handling of large amounts of data, such as enterprise networks, data centers, and campus infrastructures.

This module operates on the IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-SX standard and is compatible with multimode fiber optic cables. It transmits data using an 850nm wavelength, allowing it to cover distances up to 550 meters with 50 µm fiber and up to 220 meters with 62.5 µm fiber. This makes it a practical choice for connecting switches, routers, and other network devices within buildings or across short to medium distances.

One of the key advantages of the Cisco GLC-SX-MMD= is its hot-swappable design. This means you can install or replace the module without shutting down your network equipment, minimizing downtime and maintaining continuous operation. Its compact plug-in form factor ensures easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of Cisco devices, as well as support for both legacy and modern multimode fiber systems.

Whether you are upgrading an existing network or building a new one, this transceiver module offers a straightforward and dependable solution for extending your fiber optic connections with consistent performance.
