GLC-SX-MM-RGD Description
The GLC-SX-MM-RGD is a Cisco 1000BASE-SX rugged SFP transceiver for 1G links over multimode fiber in industrial enclosures. The module transmits at 850 nm on dual LC/PC connectors, reaches 220 m to 550 m depending on the multimode fiber type, supports DOM and operates from -40 to 85°C. The module does not run on single-mode fiber.

Application Scenarios
In a factory cabinet where a rugged switch connects to a control room over multimode fiber, the module carries Gigabit Ethernet at 850 nm across runs of 220 m to 550 m depending on the fiber grade.
Cisco Embedded Service 9300 and Cisco IC3000 supported-module tables list the module, so it fits the Gigabit SFP ports of those rugged platforms for short multimode links.

GLC-SX-MM-RGD and GLC-SX-MMD are both 850 nm 1000BASE-SX multimode optics with DOM, but GLC-SX-MM-RGD reaches 220 m to 550 m where GLC-SX-MMD reaches 220 m to 1000 m depending on fiber grade, and GLC-SX-MM-RGD carries the industrial temperature class where GLC-SX-MMD is extended, so enclosures that stay above -5°C can use GLC-SX-MMD. Reach on multimode fiber is set by the fiber grade, up to 550 m for GLC-SX-MM-RGD. GLC-LX-SM-RGD also stops at 550 m on multimode fiber, so a longer multimode run needs a higher fiber grade for the SX optic, and a link on single-mode fiber needs GLC-LX-SM-RGD, a 1310 nm optic that keeps the industrial rating and reaches 10 km. Spans of approximately 70 km, depending on link loss, move to GLC-ZX-SM-RGD, a 1550 nm single-mode optic that is also industrial.
Ordering Checklist
- Multimode fiber grade: Confirm the installed multimode grade: 220 m on FDDI-grade and 275 m on OM1 62.5 um fiber, and up to 550 m on 50 um fiber depending on grade. A span planned at the longest 850 nm SX figure can be out of reach on older fiber.
