Network Media Converter Lancom Systems Lancom SFP-SX-LC1

The Network Media Converter Lancom Systems Lancom SFP-SX-LC1 is a 1000Base-SX SFP module designed for Gigabit uplink ports. It provides wired connectivity over multimode fiber and supports full duplex operation to maintain a reliable 1000 Mbit/s link. The module is hot-pluggable and compatible with multimode fiber types commonly used in enterprise and campus networks.

Advantages

This SFP module follows the IEEE 802.3z standard to ensure interoperability with a wide range of network equipment. Hot-pluggable design allows insertion and removal without powering down the host device, reducing maintenance downtime. Support for both 50 μm and 62.5 μm multimode fiber simplifies integration into existing fiber infrastructure and helps preserve investment in cabling. Full duplex capability enables simultaneous send and receive traffic at Gigabit speeds.

Suitable for

• Gigabit uplink ports on network switches
• Short-reach multimode fiber links within buildings or across campus
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports to add fiber connectivity
• Environments requiring hot-pluggable optical modules for maintenance

Key specifications

• Standard: 1000Base-SX (IEEE 802.3z)
• Form factor: SFP optical transceiver (hot pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Fiber support: multimode fiber (50 μm and 62.5 μm)
• Operating mode: full duplex

How to use

Insert the Lancom SFP-SX-LC1 module into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch or device while the device is powered on, observing proper orientation and handling to avoid damaging the connector. Connect multimode fiber patch cords (50 μm or 62.5 μm) to the LC connector on the module and to the remote transceiver or patch panel. Ensure both ends are secured and that link indicators on the host device report an active Gigabit connection.

Usage recommendations

Use this module for short-range multimode fiber links as specified by the 1000Base-SX standard. Keep fiber connectors clean and use dust caps when the module is not in use. Match the fiber core size (50 μm or 62.5 μm) to the installed cabling and verify full duplex settings on connected devices to achieve optimal performance.
