Linksys-compatible 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver

This Brute Networks module is a 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver coded for full Linksys compatibility. It targets network administrators who need to add or replace a fibre uplink on a Linksys switch or router without purchasing OEM-priced optics. The transceiver operates at 850 nm wavelength over multi-mode fibre.

LC duplex connector and commercial temperature

The unit uses an LC duplex connector for standard patch-cord attachment and is rated for 0 to 70 degrees C operating temperature. MSA compliance ensures the mechanical and electrical interface matches the SFP slot exactly, so the module seats securely and initialises without configuration. Digital diagnostic monitoring is supported for real-time link health visibility.

500 metre reach on multi-mode fibre at 1 Gbps

The 1000BASE-SX standard limits this transceiver to 500 metres on multi-mode fibre at 1 Gbps transfer rate. It cannot serve longer campus or metro links that require single-mode optics or extended-reach wavelengths. Buyers needing distances beyond 500 metres or 10 Gbps speeds must select a different module.

Questions about this item

What distance does the 1000BASE-SX 850nm interface support on multi-mode fiber?

The 1000BASE-SX 850nm interface reaches 500m on multi-mode fiber with an LC duplex connector.

What physical slot and connector does this transceiver require?

It fits a standard SFP slot and uses an LC duplex connector for the fiber patch cable.

How is the module installed, and what step is often missed?

Insert the transceiver into the SFP slot until it clicks, then connect the LC duplex patch cable; the step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the module and cable ends before linking.
