## Long description

The StarTech.com Cisco GLC-EX-SMD Compatible SFP Module is a reliable fiber optic transceiver designed for 1000BASE-EX Gigabit Ethernet applications. It provides seamless 1GbE connectivity for compatible networking hardware, enabling data transfer rates up to 1250 Mbit/s over single-mode fiber infrastructure. Operating at a 1310nm wavelength with an LC connector, this transceiver supports long-distance data transmission up to 40 kilometers. Integrated Digital Diagnostic Monitoring allows network administrators to monitor real-time parameters and ensure stable network performance.
Advantages
This transceiver module offers full compatibility with Cisco and other MSA-compliant network equipment, making it a versatile choice for enterprise environments. Its hot-swappable design allows for quick installation and replacement without powering down the network switch, minimizing potential downtime. Operating with a low typical power consumption of 1 watt, it helps maintain energy efficiency in server rooms and data centers. The durable aluminium housing ensures reliable physical protection, while a high mean time between failures supports continuous long-term operation.
Suitable for
Connecting remote network switches and routers over distances up to 40km
Upgrading enterprise local area networks to Gigabit Ethernet speeds
Expanding single-mode fiber optic infrastructures
Real-time network diagnostic monitoring using DDM-supported management tools
When it may not be suitable
This module is not designed for multi-mode fiber optic cabling setups and will not function correctly without compatible single-mode infrastructure. It is also unsuitable for short-range building connections where standard short-wavelength transceivers would be more cost-effective.
Key specifications
SFP transceiver type: Fiber optic
Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
Interface type: SFP
Wavelength: 1310 nm
Maximum transfer distance: 40 km
Connector type: LC
Fiber type: Single Mode Fiber
Power consumption: 1 W
Housing material: Aluminium
How to use
Ensure that the network device is powered on and supports hot-swappable SFP modules. Gently insert the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks securely into place. Connect the single-mode fiber optic cable with an LC connector to the transceiver ports. Verify the link status through the network management software to confirm successful data transmission and DDM operation.
What to consider before purchase
Verify compatibility with your existing network switch or router brand
Confirm that your current cabling infrastructure utilizes single-mode fiber
Check the required transmission distance to ensure it falls within the 40km limit
Ensure the device slot supports standard SFP form-factor modules
Usage recommendations: Handle the optical transceiver with ESD protection measures and avoid touching the optical bore. Keep dust caps attached when the fiber cable is disconnected to prevent contamination of the optical components.
