Description
Product Overview
The StarTech GLCZXSMRGDST is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module that can be used to extend the range of 1Gbps Ethernet networks. This module is designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cables and provides a data transfer rate of 1Gbps. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of the StarTech GLCZXSMRGDST SFP transceiver module.
Features
The StarTech GLCZXSMRGDST SFP transceiver module is designed to be compatible with the 1000Base-ZX standard, which is used for transmitting data over single-mode fiber optic cables. This module is hot-swappable, which means it can be inserted or removed from a switch or router without having to power down the device. This feature allows for easier maintenance and upgrades to network infrastructure.
The GLCZXSMRGDST SFP transceiver module has a duplex LC connector, which means it has two separate fibers for transmitting and receiving data. This feature allows for full-duplex communication, which means data can be sent and received simultaneously. This is important for high-speed data transfer applications, such as video streaming and file transfers.
This SFP transceiver module is also designed to be low-power, which means it uses less energy than other similar devices. This feature is important for reducing energy costs and helping to protect the environment by reducing carbon emissions.
Specifications
The StarTech GLCZXSMRGDST SFP transceiver module has a maximum data transfer rate of 1Gbps, which is the same as the 1000Base-ZX standard. This module has a maximum operating distance of 80km (49.7 miles), which is significantly longer than the maximum distance of 550m (1804 feet) for the 1000Base-T standard, which is used for transmitting data over copper cables.
This SFP transceiver module operates at a wavelength of 1550nm, which is a standard wavelength for single-mode fiber optic cables. The module has a transmit power of -5 to 0dBm and a receive sensitivity of -24dBm. These specifications allow for reliable data transfer over long distances.
Compatibility
The StarTech GLCZXSMRGDST SFP transceiver module is compatible with a wide range of switches and routers that support the 1000Base-ZX standard. This module can be used with devices from a variety of manufacturers, including Cisco, HP, Juniper, and Dell.
Installation
The installation of the StarTech GLCZXSMRGDST SFP transceiver module is straightforward. First, ensure that the switch or router is powered off. Next, insert the module into the appropriate SFP slot on the device. Finally, power on the switch or router and verify that the module is recognized by the device.
In Summary, the StarTech GLCZXSMRGDST SFP transceiver module is a reliable and cost-effective solution for extending the range of 1Gbps Ethernet networks. This module is designed to be compatible with a wide range of switches and routers, and its hot-swappable design allows for easy maintenance and upgrades. With a maximum operating distance of 80km, this SFP transceiver module is ideal for long-range data transfer applications.
