Network Transceiver Module Lancom Systems SFP-SX-LC1

The Lancom Systems SFP-SX-LC1 is a compact network transceiver module designed for optical Gigabit Ethernet links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s and operates at an 850 nm wavelength. With an SFP interface and an LC fiber connector, the module enables short-range fiber connections between switches, routers or other networking equipment while maintaining signal integrity and consistent throughput.

Advantages

This SFP-SX-LC1 module provides a standardized SFP form factor that simplifies installation and replacement in compatible network devices. The 850 nm wavelength and LC connector are optimized for multimode fiber runs, delivering stable Gigabit performance for local network segments. Its compact design and industry-standard interface reduce the need for specialized adapters and support hot-swap insertion for minimal service disruption.

Suitable for

• Short-distance Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode fiber within buildings or campus environments
• Interconnection of switches, routers and media converters supporting SFP modules
• Data center top-of-rack links and aggregation points with multimode fiber cabling
• Network upgrades where copper ports are being migrated to fiber for reduced interference

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (designed for multimode fiber)
• Connector type: LC fiber optic connector
• Typical application range: short-reach multimode fiber links
• Colour: black and grey housing

How to use

Power down or ensure the host device supports hot-swap before insertion. Align the SFP module with the SFP slot on the switch, router or media converter and insert it until it seats securely. Connect the LC-terminated multimode fiber patch cable to the module, ensuring correct polarity and secure latching. Configure the host device port as required for Gigabit operation and verify link and speed status through the device management interface. For removal, follow the host device’s guidance and disengage the fiber connector before extracting the module.

Usage recommendations

Use matched multimode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3 as appropriate) and LC patch cables of suitable length to maintain signal quality. Avoid bending fiber beyond recommended radii and keep connectors clean to prevent signal loss. Verify compatibility with the intended host device and firmware to ensure full functionality.
