SFP transceiver Lancom UF-SFP-SX-LC1-LC10 1000Base-SX 850nm up to 550m

The Lancom UF-SFP-SX-LC1-LC10 is a compact SFP transceiver module that supports 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber at an 850 nm wavelength. Designed for short-range fiber links, it provides an optical reach of up to 550 m and fits into standard SFP slots to enable flexible uplink or port expansion in switches, routers and access points. The module is intended for reliable LAN fiber connections where small form factor and plug-and-play installation are required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers a small form factor for high-density installations and compatibility with standard SFP ports for straightforward integration. It delivers Gigabit bandwidth over multimode fiber at 850 nm and supports short-distance connections up to 550 m, making it suitable for campus, building and closet-to-closet links. The module reduces cabling complexity by allowing direct fiber uplinks and provides stable optical performance for typical LAN topologies.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches in LAN environments
• Short-range multimode fiber links within buildings or across a campus
• Port expansion on routers, switches and access points with SFP slots
• Backhaul connections in wiring closets and server rooms

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP form factor for hot-pluggable installation
• Data rate: 1000Base-SX (1 Gbps)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (multimode fiber)
• Maximum optical reach: up to 550 m over appropriate multimode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex

How to use

Install the transceiver by inserting it into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or access point until it seats securely. Connect LC duplex multimode fiber cables to the transceiver’s LC connectors, observing proper transmit/receive orientation. Configure the connected network device as needed for a 1 Gbps optical uplink; most devices will detect the module automatically. Verify link status and monitor optical levels through the network device’s management interface.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate multimode fiber types (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) and high-quality LC duplex connectors to achieve the specified reach; verify fiber link budget and connector cleanliness before commissioning. Ensure compatibility with the host device’s SFP interoperability guidelines and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the transceiver.
