The Cisco GBIC-LX/LH= transceiver is a high-performance, hot-swappable optical module designed for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. This device supports connectivity over long ranges, making it ideal for campus or metropolitan-area networks. It is compatible with 1000Base-LX/LH standards, offering a maximum distance of 10 km over single-mode fibre (SMF) and up to 550 metres over multi-mode fibre (MMF) when used with an appropriate mode conditioning patch cable.
As a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC), the GBIC-LX/LH= provides full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling reliable data transfer at 1 Gbps. One of the standout features of this transceiver is its ability to operate on both single-mode and multi-mode fibre. This versatility ensures that organisations can deploy the device in differing infrastructure setups, providing flexibility in various networking environments.
This module operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm for both single-mode and multi-mode light transmission. It comes equipped with SC connectors, making it universally compatible with many network setups. Additionally, the GBIC form factor leverages its hot-swappable nature, offering plug-and-play installation without the need for system downtime. This contributes not only to ease of use but also to overall network reliability during module replacements or upgrades.
The Cisco GBIC-LX/LH= transceiver conforms to IEEE 802.3z standards, ensuring industry-standard performance and interoperability across Cisco and non-Cisco devices. It is an ideal solution for organisations looking to extend their Gigabit Ethernet links over longer distances while maintaining robust data transfer.
