The Cisco GBIC 1000BASE-LX/LH transceiver module (Part Number: WS-G5486=) is a high-performance product designed to support data transmission over long distances in Gigabit Ethernet networks. This module operates using the 1000BASE-LX/LH standard, making it suitable for both short and long-reach applications, typically ranging between 550 metres over multimode fibre (MMF) and up to a maximum of 10 kilometres on single-mode fibre (SMF). This versatility allows it to be deployed in a wide variety of networking environments.
Utilising a GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) form factor, the WS-G5486= transceiver module can easily be hot-swapped into compatible Cisco networking devices. It supports speeds of up to 1 Gbps, ensuring a reliable and fast data connection. The module adheres to industry standards, leveraging LC connectors for fibre interfacing. This helps simplify network setups by maintaining a uniform connection type across various devices.
The 1000BASE-LX/LH transceiver operates on the 1310 nm wavelength for both short and long-range data transmission. It is engineered to work particularly well in enterprise networking environments that require robust and scalable Gigabit Ethernet solutions. The unit’s capability to transmit over long distances without signal loss makes it an ideal choice for ensuring communication over extended areas.
This Cisco GBIC transceiver complies with all the necessary protocols in the industry and is designed for seamless integration into existing Cisco network architectures. Its compact design and hot-swappable feature reduce downtime during installations or upgrades, ensuring minimal disruption to network operations.
