GLC-SX-MMD Description
Cisco GLC-SX-MMD is a 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver designed for short-range multimode fiber applications. Operating at 850 nm, it supports transmission distances up to 220 m on legacy 62.5 µm FDDI-grade MMF, 550 m on standard OM2 fiber, and up to 1 km on laser-optimized OM3/OM4/OM5 fibers.This hot-swappable module features an LC duplex connector and provides Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) for real-time link diagnostics. With its extended temperature rating (-5°C to 85°C), the GLC-SX-MMD offers robust performance for enterprise, campus, and data center environments.
