40 km 1 Gbps SFP module

The Brute Networks GLC-EX-SMD is a 1000BASE-EX transceiver built for single-mode fibre links up to 40 km. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength and uses an LC duplex connector. The module targets network engineers extending campus or metro Ethernet segments.

Commercial temperature sustained operation

Rated for 0 to 70 °C, the transceiver maintains link stability across long-haul runs without the short-range power margins of SX optics. Digital output monitoring allows real-time visibility of optical power and temperature during continuous load.

Hot-plug SFP installation

The industry-standard SFP form factor slides into any compatible switch or router slot without tools. Misaligned LC ferrules or contaminated end-faces are the most common cause of intermittent errors; cleaning both connectors before seating eliminates the majority of support calls.

Questions about this item

How much power does the GLC-EX-SMD draw when running continuously at 40 km?

The module complies with MSA limits for SFP transceivers, typically under 1 W, and operates across 0 to 70 °C without active cooling.

What patch cable and switch port are needed to use this transceiver?

A duplex LC single-mode fibre patch cord and an SFP slot that supports 1000BASE-EX at 1310 nm are required.

Will this module link with older 1000BASE-LX gear at 1310 nm?

It is built for 1000BASE-EX 40 km reach; LX optics target 10 km so link budgets and receiver sensitivity differ.
