What does SX mean on SFP?

short wavelength
SX stands for short wavelength. The standard specifies a distance capability between 220 meters and 550 meters.

What is the difference between GLC SX MMD and GLC SX MM?

GLC-SX-MM is a legacy model, it doesn’t feature DOM function and is EOL, it comes with the lowest price compared with the others. GLC-SX-MMD is the replacement of GLC-SX-MM which features an enhanced DOM interface, but with a more expensive price.

What does 1000 base SX mean?

1000BASE-SX is an optical fiber Gigabit Ethernet standard for operation over multi-mode fiber using a 770 to 860 nanometer, near infrared (NIR) light wavelength.

What does SX mean in fiber?

short
The SX in 1000BaseSX stands for short, and it indicates that this version of Gigabit Ethernet is intended for use with short-wavelength transmissions over short cable runs of fiber-optic cabling.

What does Cisco SFP stand for?

Small form-factor pluggable
Definition. Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver. Cisco Transceiver Modules support Ethernet, Sonet/SDH and Fibre Channel applications across all Cisco switching and routing platforms.

What is the difference between SX and LX fiber?

SX stands for short wavelength. The standard specifies a distance capability between 220 meters and 550 meters. 1000BASE-LX can run over both single mode fiber and multimode fiber with a distance of up to 10 km and 550 m, respectively.

Is GLC SX MMD single mode or multimode?

GLC-SX-MMD 1000BASE-SX SFP is made for Multi-mode Fiber only. GLC-LH-SMD 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP is made for Both Multi-mode and Single-Mode Fibers.

What is the maximum length of 1000BASE-SX?

1000BASE-SX is a short laser wavelength on multimode fiber optic cable for a maximum length of 550 m. 1000BASE-LX/LH/LX10 is a long wavelength for a long-haul fiber optic cable for a maximum length of 10 kilometers (km).
