StarTech.com Gigabit Fibre SFP Transceiver Module, 1000BASE-SX

The StarTech.com Gigabit Fibre SFP Transceiver Module is a high-quality, fully compatible solution for expanding your network's reach and performance. This compact 1000BASE-SX module delivers robust Gigabit connectivity over fibre optic cables, seamlessly integrating with Cisco SFP-GE-S compatible switches and routers to connect remote network segments or link different floors of a building. Its guaranteed 100% compatibility ensures reliable operation, meeting original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications and the industry-standard Multi-Source Agreement (MSA).

Engineered for multi-mode fibre with an 850nm wavelength, this module supports maximum data transfer rates of 1.25Gb/s and can achieve distances of up to 550 metres, making it ideal for backbone connections within data centres, office buildings, and campus environments. A key feature is its built-in support for Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM), allowing for real-time monitoring of critical operational parameters like temperature, optical power, and supply voltage to facilitate proactive network management and troubleshooting.

Featuring a standard LC Duplex female connector, this hot-pluggable SFP module allows for convenient installation and replacement without powering down the host equipment, minimising network downtime. Its design prioritises efficiency, with low power consumption of less than 1W, helping to reduce overall energy costs and heat generation within network cabinets. Supplied as the SFP module only, this reliable component is an essential, high-performance upgrade for any enterprise or commercial network infrastructure requiring fast, secure, and scalable fibre optic connectivity.
