GLC-ZX-SM

The GLC-ZX-SM is a single-mode Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed to handle high-speed data transmission over long distances. It converts electrical signals into optical signals using an LC connector, making it suitable for fiber optic network setups.

Often found in enterprise networks, data centers, and telecom environments, this module is built for connecting switches, routers, and other devices that require reliable 1 Gbps communication over extended fiber runs.

Key Features

• Long reach capability up to 80 km on single-mode fiber
• Hot-swappable design allows easy installation without downtime
• Supports 1 Gbps data transfer rate for standard network speeds
• Widely compatible with Cisco switches and routers
• Utilizes LC connector for secure and stable fiber connections

This transceiver is typically deployed in backbone networks and inter-building connections where distance and signal integrity are critical. It plays a key role in maintaining stable network links without the need for additional equipment. The module’s hot-swappable nature helps minimize disruptions during maintenance or upgrades.
