CISCO GLC-SX-MMD – 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver module, MMF, 850nm, DOM

Detailed Description:

The CISCO GLC-SX-MMD is a high-performance, multi-mode fiber (MMF) transceiver designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications. Operating over an 850nm wavelength, this module provides a reliable connection and supports data transfer rates up to 1Gbps, making it well-suited for data communication tasks that demand high bandwidth. It features Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities, which allow for real-time monitoring of the module’s optical performance, including parameters such as optical power output and received signal strength. This can be invaluable for diagnosing issues and ensuring that the fiber optic network is operating optimally. Easy to install and compatible with a wide range of Cisco networking equipment, the GLC-SX-MMD is designed for short-range connections and is typically used to connect networking gear within the same data center or building, with a reach of up to 550 meters depending on the fiber quality and other factors.
