Cisco GLC-LH-SMD Gigabit SFP Transceiver Module (MMF/SMF)

Name: Cisco GLC-LH-SMD Gigabit SFP Transceiver Module (MMF/SMF)
Brand: Cisco
SKU: 28437
Availability: InStock

The Cisco GLC-LH-SMD SFP Transceiver Module delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF). Supporting 1000BASE-LX/LH standards with a 1310nm wavelength, it achieves up to 10km over SMF and 550m over MMF. Kenyan businesses benefit from its hot-swappable design, Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), and Cisco compatibility, ensuring seamless network upgrades. This module enhances connectivity for professional environments.

High-Performance Connectivity

Networks require versatile transceivers for flexible fiber deployments. This module supports both MMF and SMF, ideal for Kenyan professionals. Its MSA compliance and DOM ensure broad compatibility and real-time monitoring, supporting diverse applications efficiently.

Use Cases

Nairobi offices use it to connect switches across buildings, enabling high-speed LAN. Retail stores deploy it for secure POS and server links. Schools connect network devices for e-learning platforms. Clinics integrate it for reliable data transfers. Its 10km SMF range suits Kenya’s campus and enterprise needs.

Compatibility and Deployment

This module fits SFP slots in Cisco switches like Catalyst 9200 and Nexus series. It supports IEEE 802.3z and requires a mode-conditioning patch cable for legacy MMF. Pair it with LC cables from Novatech Technologies computer accessories. Hot-swappable design allows live insertion. For details, see Cisco’s official documentation.

Performance

Engineered for reliability, this module ensures low-latency Gigabit transmission. DOM monitors real-time parameters like optical power and temperature, balancing performance with efficiency.

High-Speed Fiber Transmission

Supporting 1000BASE-LX/LH, it achieves 1 Gbps over SMF (10km) and MMF (550m). A 10-dB attenuator may be needed for short SMF links (<8 dB loss). It complies with IEEE 802.3z standards, ensuring interoperability. Power consumption is low at 1W max.

Durability and Monitoring

The robust design withstands environmental stress. DOM, per SFF-8472 MSA, tracks optical output/input power, temperature, and voltage. RoHS compliance supports eco-friendly practices, aligning with Cisco’s sustainability initiatives.
