EFB-Elektronik SFP1000LX Cisco GLC-LH-SMD Compatible SFP Transceiver 1000BASE-LX 1310 nm LC Single-Mode 20 km DDM
EFB-Elektronik SFP1000LX — 1G LX Single-Mode SFP, 20 km, Cisco Compatible
The EFB-Elektronik SFP1000LX is a Gigabit SFP transceiver for single-mode fibre, coded as Cisco GLC-LH-SMD: 1000BASE-LX with a 1310 nm Fabry-Perot laser over an LC duplex connection, up to 20 km on 9/125 µm fibre, with digital diagnostics. EFB states it also works in standard MSA SFP ports. In practice, single-mode optics are the choice when a link leaves the building or runs several hundred metres: the OS2 fibre used by carriers and campus backbones carries the signal for kilometres with little loss. Before you order, confirm the fibre is single-mode at both ends and note the length and the number of patch panels on the way.
