The Cisco Rugged SFP - SFP (mini-GBIC) transceiver module, model GLC-LX-SM-RGD, is engineered for reliable performance in challenging conditions. This module is designed to support Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fibre (SMF) connections, providing data rates up to 1.25 Gbps. It is suitable for harsh industrial, remote, and outdoor environments, meeting stringent environmental specifications, including the capability to operate in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.
One of the key features of this module is its compliance with IEEE 802.3z standards, ensuring compatibility and interoperability with other compliant devices. The GLC-LX-SM-RGD transceiver module supports a maximum single-mode fibre distance of up to 10 km when paired with standard SMF cables, making it ideal for long-distance data transmission. It operates on a wavelength of 1310 nm and requires a dual-LC connector for installation.
The rugged design includes specific qualities like enhanced shock and vibration resistance, which makes it well suited for industrial applications. In addition to its robust physical structure, the module is easy to install as it supports a Hot-Swappable feature, allowing it to be replaced or installed without interrupting the network connection.
Another notable feature is the module's support for Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), which helps track key operating parameters such as transceiver temperature and laser bias current. This functionality helps ensure long-term reliability and simplifies troubleshooting in case of network malfunctions.
