1000BASE-SX SFP Transceiver

This 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver operates at an 850nm wavelength over multi-mode fibre. It is built for network engineers adding or replacing fibre links on Palo Alto Networks switches and routers. The module is coded for full OEM compatibility and initialises identically to original equipment.

Multi-mode Fibre Distance Limit

The 850nm multi-mode interface supports link lengths up to 550 metres. Beyond that distance the optical budget is exceeded and errors increase. The LC duplex connector fits standard SFP cages and the module meets MSA mechanical and electrical specifications.

1 Gbps Throughput Headroom

At 1 Gbps the transceiver handles typical campus and data-centre aggregation links with comfortable margin. It runs reliably across the commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius. Links requiring longer reach or higher line rates will need a different optical module.

Questions about this item

Is this the only distance option for a 1 Gbps SFP in the 850 nm range?

The module is specified at 550 m over multi-mode fibre; other reach variants exist in the market but this SKU is fixed at that distance.

What throughput will I actually see on a 1 Gbps link using this transceiver?

It runs at the full 1 Gbps line rate with standard Ethernet framing overhead; no speed reduction is introduced by the module itself.

Which SFP standard does this transceiver follow and what does that limit?

It complies with the MSA SFP form factor and 1000BASE-SX, so it fits any compliant cage but is capped at 1 Gbps and 550 m on multi-mode fibre.
