The Cisco Rugged SFP (mini-GBIC) transceiver module, part number GLC-ZX-SM-RGD, is designed for demanding environments, offering robust networking capabilities with enhanced durability. This module is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) device and is typically used with single-mode fibre for long-distance data transmission. It is compliant with industry standards for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-ZX) and supports a data rate of 1 Gbps.Built to withstand harsher conditions than your typical transceiver, the GLC-ZX-SM-RGD is ruggedised, making it suitable for environments where standard equipment might fail. It operates in a wider temperature range than traditional models, typically from -40°C to 85°C, which is vital for applications in industrial settings or outdoor installations. Its ruggedised construction ensures reliable performance even in challenging conditions such as high humidity and dusty environments.The transceiver provides optical link distances of up to 70 km over single-mode fibre with the use of a 1550 nm wavelength, which is ideal for extended reach while maintaining high-speed data transmission. It features hot-swappable capability, allowing replacement or installation without needing to power down the network devices, ensuring minimal downtime. Additionally, the module is compatible with a wide range of Cisco switches and routers, offering flexibility for numerous networking configurations.
In summary, this transceiver module’s primary advantage is its rugged design, allowing it to perform in adverse environments while maintaining secure and reliable data transfer over extended distances using industry-standard Gigabit Ethernet protocols and durable single-mode fibre connections.
