Description
The Cisco GLC-SX-MMD= is a high-performance, hot-swappable SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. Built with durable components, it supports a data transfer rate of up to 1.25 Gbps and is optimized for multimode fiber (MMF) with an operating distance of up to 550 meters, depending on fiber type. The module features an LC duplex connector and operates on a wavelength of 850nm, making it ideal for short-range communication within enterprise and data center environments. Its Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support allows for real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power levels.
This transceiver is compliant with IEEE 802.3z and SFP MSA standards, ensuring broad compatibility with Cisco switches and other networking equipment. The compact design allows for easy installation and replacement, reducing network downtime during maintenance or upgrades. When purchasing used, buyers can expect a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance, especially in legacy or budget-conscious deployments. The GLC-SX-MMD= remains a reliable choice for expanding or maintaining existing Gigabit fiber networks.
