The Cisco Rugged SFP (mini-GBIC) transceiver module, part number GLC-ZX-SM-RGD=, is designed for reliable operation in challenging environmental conditions. This module is engineered to meet the needs of industrial environments, offering a rugged and durable construction that ensures dependable network performance even in harsh situations. It is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) type, also known as a mini-GBIC, offering compactness and flexibility in network setups.
Supporting single-mode fibre, the GLC-ZX-SM-RGD= allows data transmission over long distances of up to 70 km, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where extended reach is needed. The module operates in 1000Base-ZX mode, providing 1 gigabit per second data transfer speeds, which ensures rapid and efficient communication between network devices, particularly in industrial or extreme temperature environments.
One of its standout features is its tolerance for extreme temperatures. The Cisco Rugged SFP module can operate between -40°C and 85°C, meaning it is capable of performing optimally even in severe temperature conditions where standard equipment would be prone to failure. Additionally, it comes with Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), allowing real-time monitoring of the transceiver's operational parameters such as optical power levels, ensuring enhanced troubleshooting and maintenance capabilities.
Furthermore, this transceiver module complies with Class 1 laser safety and SFF-8472 MSA (Multi-Sourcing Agreement) standards, ensuring safety and broad compatibility with networking devices from Cisco and other vendors supporting such specifications.
