SFP fiber optic transceiver Lancom Systems LANCOM SFP-LX-LC1, SFP interface, 1 Gbps, stainless steel

LANCOM SFP-LX-LC1 is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module designed for 1 Gbps links in switches, routers and access devices. Housed in a stainless-steel casing and featuring an SFP interface, the module supports single-mode fiber with LC connectors to extend network reach over optical cabling. The unit is intended for use with LANCOM devices and supplied as a single transceiver compatible with standard 1000BASE-LX installations.

Advantages

The stainless-steel housing provides mechanical stability and EMI resistance while maintaining standard SFP dimensions for hot-swap installations. With support for full-duplex operation and digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM), the transceiver enables consistent gigabit throughput and real-time monitoring of optical parameters. Compatibility with LANCOM equipment reduces integration effort and helps ensure predictable behavior in enterprise and service-provider networks.

Suitable for

• Extending LAN links over single-mode fiber up to around 10 km
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on switches and routers with SFP ports
• Connecting SFP-capable firewalls and access devices in fiber networks

How to use

Insert the SFP-LX-LC1 transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible LANCOM switch, router or firewall while the host device is powered on or off, as the module supports hot-swap operation. Connect an LC-terminated single-mode fiber cable to the LC port, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. Verify link negotiation and speed on the host device management interface; the module operates at 1 Gbps in full-duplex mode. Use the device management or monitoring tools to read DDM parameters if needed.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality 9/125 µm single-mode fiber and clean LC connectors to achieve the specified reach and optical performance. Observe the operating temperature range and avoid exposing the module to excessive mechanical stress. For installation in LANCOM environments, confirm firmware and compatibility notes from the device manual to ensure optimal interoperability.
