GLC-SX-MM Cisco 1000 Base-SX SFP (mini-GBIC) Transceiver New

More Specification

The GLC-SX-MM is a Cisco 1000 Base-SX SFP transceiver module. It is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the fiber-optic network. The GLC-SX-MM is designed to work with multimode fiber cables and provides a data transfer rate of up to 1 Gbps.

The "SX" in the name stands for "short wavelength," which indicates that the module uses short-wavelength lasers to transmit and receive data. The "MM" stands for "multimode," indicating that the module is compatible with multimode fiber cables.

The GLC-SX-MM is typically used in LAN (Local Area Network) and data center environments where distances between network devices are relatively short, typically up to a few hundred meters. It operates at a wavelength of 850 nm and supports link lengths of up to 550 meters on 50/125µm multimode fiber and up to 275 meters on 62.5/125µm multimode fiber.

The GLC-SX-MM module is also hot-swappable, meaning it can be inserted or removed from the switch or router without powering down the entire system. This makes it easy to replace or upgrade network connections without disrupting network operation.

Network Management and Security

The GLC-SX-MM Cisco 1000 Base-SX SFP (mini-GBIC) transceiver module is a hot-swappable input/output device that is designed to be used with Cisco networking equipment. This transceiver module is used to connect to Ethernet networks using multimode fiber optic cabling, and provides a gigabit Ethernet connection. Here's an overview of the network management and security features of this module:

• Network management: The GLC-SX-MM transceiver module is designed to be used with Cisco networking equipment, which provides a range of network management capabilities. Cisco switches and routers support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which enables network administrators to monitor and manage network devices, including transceiver modules. SNMP can be used to monitor the performance and health of the network, and to identify and troubleshoot issues.
• Security: The GLC-SX-MM transceiver module supports a range of security features, including data encryption and access control. Data encryption can be used to secure sensitive data that is transmitted over the network, while access control can be used to restrict access to the network to authorized users. Cisco networking equipment also supports a range of security protocols, including Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which provide secure access to the network.
• Compatibility: The GLC-SX-MM transceiver module is designed to be compatible with a range of Cisco networking equipment, including switches and routers. This ensures that the module can be used in a variety of network environments and configurations.
• Reliability: The GLC-SX-MM transceiver module is designed for high reliability and availability. It is hot-swappable, which means that it can be inserted or removed from a network device without interrupting the operation of the device or the network. This makes it easy to replace a faulty module or upgrade the network without causing downtime.

Compliant Standards

The GLC-SX-MM Cisco 1000 Base-SX SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceiver module is compliant with a number of standards, including:

• IEEE 802.3z - This standard defines 1000BASE-SX, which is a type of Gigabit Ethernet that uses short wavelength (850nm) optical fibers to transmit data at a rate of 1 Gbps over distances up to 550 meters.
• Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA) - The SFP MSA is an industry-wide agreement that defines the mechanical, electrical, and optical interfaces for SFP transceivers. This allows for interoperability between different brands of SFP transceivers and equipment.
• RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) - This is a European Union directive that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The GLC-SX-MM is compliant with this directive, meaning it does not contain any of the restricted substances.
• MSA SFP Specification - The Cisco GLC-SX-MM module is compliant with the MSA SFP specification.
• 1000BASE-SX SFP specification - Cisco GLC-SX-MM is compliant with 1000BASE-SX SFP specification.
• The Fiber Channel FC-PI-2 - The Fiber Channel FC-PI-2 is a standard which defines the physical and electrical characteristics of optical and copper interconnects and interfaces for use in Fibre Channel.
