StarTech GLCEXSMDST Gigabit Fiber SFP Transceiver Module
Overview
The StarTech GLCEXSMDST is a Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver module designed to extend network connectivity over single-mode fiber up to 40 kilometers. This module is engineered to provide a reliable, high-performance link for network infrastructure where longer distances are required, such as connecting buildings in a campus environment or extending a data center backbone. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, ensuring compatibility with specific fiber optic infrastructure. The GLCEXSMDST model is built for full-duplex operation at 1 Gbps, offering a cost-effective solution for extending your network reach without replacing existing network equipment.
Compatibility
This SFP transceiver is designed to be compatible with network devices that support the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). It is specifically tested and verified for compatibility with Cisco equipment, functioning as a direct replacement for Cisco's GLC-EX-SMD. You can confidently integrate this module into switches, routers, and other network hardware from various manufacturers that adhere to SFP standards, enabling seamless interoperability.
Installation Notes
The module operates within a standard commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, suitable for most indoor network environments. It consumes less than 1 Watt of power, minimizing impact on your switch's power budget. The transceiver utilizes a standard LC connector, requiring a corresponding LC-terminated fiber optic cable. Ensure the fiber optic cable is rated for single-mode transmission and meets the required distance specifications for optimal performance.
