Brute Networks EX-SFP-1GE-SX 1000BASE-SX 550m 850nm SFP transceiver

1 Gbps SFP Transceiver

The Brute Networks EX-SFP-1GE-SX is a 1000BASE-SX SFP module built for short-reach fibre links inside data centres and campus networks. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength over multi-mode fibre and delivers a 1 Gbps transfer rate. The unit is 100% compatible with Juniper equipment and meets MSA industry standards. It targets network engineers who need a reliable, hot-pluggable uplink for switches and routers.

Multi-mode Fibre Integration

The transceiver plugs directly into any standard SFP port, requiring a duplex LC multi-mode fibre patch cable to complete the link. It supports distances up to 550 m, freeing the installer from the length limits of copper cabling. Front-panel LEDs show power, link activity, full-duplex status and speed for immediate visual verification. The module runs in commercial temperatures from 0 to 70 °C and weighs 1 oz.

550 m Reach and Headroom

At the rated 550 m the link maintains a solid 1 Gbps connection across standard OM2 or OM3 multi-mode fibre. Beyond that distance the optical budget is exceeded and errors will rise, so longer runs need a different wavelength or single-mode optics. The 850 nm source is optimised for high-bandwidth multi-mode cores and is not suited for single-mode infrastructure. Buyers needing reaches beyond 550 m must select a long-reach or single-mode transceiver instead.
