Cisco SFP Mini GBIC transceiver

Cisco GLC-LX-SM-RGD 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP Mini GBIC Transceiver

Engineered for superior performance and unwavering reliability, the Cisco GLC-LX-SM-RGD SFP Mini GBIC transceiver is the definitive solution for extending your network connectivity in demanding environments. This industry-standard, hot-swappable input/output device plugs directly into a Gigabit Ethernet SFP port on a compatible Cisco switch or router, providing a high-speed, long-reach fiber optic connection. As a genuine Cisco product, it guarantees seamless integration, optimal performance, and robust stability for your mission-critical network infrastructure.

The "RGD" designation signifies that this transceiver is a rugged model, specifically designed to operate reliably under extended temperature ranges. This makes it the ideal choice for deployments in challenging industrial settings, outdoor enclosures, or data centers with less-than-optimal climate control, ensuring consistent network uptime where standard transceivers might fail.

Key Benefits

* Unmatched Reliability in Harsh Environments: Built to rugged specifications, this transceiver operates flawlessly across a wide industrial temperature range, providing dependable connectivity for industrial automation, transportation networks, and outdoor deployments.
* Flexible Long-Reach Connectivity: Supporting the 1000BASE-LX/LH standard, this module offers exceptional versatility. It can achieve a link length of up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) over standard single-mode fiber (SMF), perfect for campus backbones and metropolitan area networks. It is also compatible with multimode fiber (MMF) for shorter distances up to 550 meters.
* Seamless Upgrades with Zero Downtime: The hot-swappable nature of the SFP form factor allows you to install or replace the module without powering down your network equipment. This feature is crucial for maintaining continuous operation during network maintenance, upgrades, or expansion.
* Proactive Network Monitoring: Equipped with Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities, the GLC-LX-SM-RGD provides network administrators with real-time access to critical operating parameters. You can monitor optical output and input power, internal temperature, and voltage, enabling proactive maintenance and rapid troubleshooting to prevent potential network issues.
* Guaranteed Cisco Compatibility: As an authentic Cisco transceiver, it ensures full compatibility and interoperability with a wide array of Cisco networking equipment. This eliminates the guesswork and potential performance issues associated with third-party modules, delivering peace of mind and a stable network foundation.
