SFP Fiber Optic Transceiver PLANET MGB-LX 1000 Mbit/s 1310 nm

PLANET MGB-LX SFP fiber optic transceiver provides 1000 Mbit/s full-duplex data transfer over single-mode fiber at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The compact SFP form factor is hot-pluggable and designed for SFP-compatible switches and routers, enabling plug-and-play uplinks or link extensions without interrupting host equipment. This module is intended for long-distance Ethernet or backbone links where a small, reliable transceiver is required.

Advantages

The module conforms to SFP MSA and IEEE 802.3ab/802.3z standards, offering interoperability with standard SFP ports and predictable Gigabit Ethernet performance. Single 3.3V power supply, TTL signal detection, and Class 1 laser compliance simplify installation and safety considerations. Hot-pluggable capability allows insertion and removal without powering down the host device, while the LC duplex single-mode interface supports extended reach suitable for metropolitan and campus backbones.

Suitable for

• Long-distance Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Uplink ports on switches and routers with SFP slots
• Backbone and campus network interconnects
• Environments requiring hot-swappable fiber modules for minimal downtime

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Fiber type: Single-mode
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Connector type: Duplex LC
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Power supply: Single 3.3 V
• Operating temperature range (typical for MGB family variants): wide-temperature industrial options available (models with -40℃ to 75℃ support)
• Regulatory: Class 1 laser product (EN 60825-1)

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an available SFP port on a compatible switch or router until it latches. Connect a single-mode duplex LC patch cable between the transceiver and the remote fiber device, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Ensure the device is configured for Gigabit Ethernet and verify link/activity indicators. The transceiver is hot-pluggable, so it can be installed or removed while the host is powered on; follow the host vendor guidance for safe module handling to avoid electrostatic discharge or optical exposure.

Usage recommendations

Use single-mode LC patch cords of appropriate quality and maintain clean connector endfaces to ensure optimal optical performance. Match transceiver wavelength and fiber type at both ends of the link, and verify link budget and distance for reliable operation. For installations in harsh or wide-temperature environments, select the industrial wide-temperature version from the MGB family if required.
