GLC-ZX-SM-RGD=

This Cisco GLC-ZX-SM-RGD= module transmits data over single-mode fiber at gigabit speeds. It’s designed to extend network reach using a 1550nm wavelength, making it ideal for connections up to 70 kilometers without signal degradation.

Often found in enterprise and service provider environments, this transceiver fits into SFP ports on switches and routers to enable long-distance fiber optic communication. Network engineers and IT professionals typically use this module to link dispersed facilities or to support high-bandwidth data lanes in campus networks.

Key Features

• Supports 1000Base-ZX standard with a 1 Gigabit per second data rate
• Operates at a 1550nm wavelength optimized for long-range single-mode fiber
• Duplex LC connector ensures secure and stable fiber connections
• Compatible across Cisco platforms for flexible deployment options
• Designed for distances up to 70 kilometers without needing signal boosters

The module is typically deployed in wide area networks, data centers, or between buildings on campus. Its ability to maintain signal integrity over long distances helps reduce network complexity by limiting the need for intermediate devices. This makes it a practical choice where reliable, high-speed fiber links are necessary.
