Cisco GLC-BX-D= SFP for 1 Gbps single-mode links

The Cisco GLC-BX-D= is a hot-swappable SFP transceiver delivering 1 Gbps over a single strand of G.652 single-mode fibre. It uses 1490 nm for transmit and 1310 nm for receive, reaching up to 10 km. The module fits switches such as the Catalyst 2960 series and ME 2400. Digital optical monitoring provides real-time link health data.

Distance and wavelength constraints

This bidirectional optic requires a matching upstream module operating at the complementary 1310 nm TX and 1490 nm RX wavelengths. The 10 km reach assumes standard G.652 fibre with low splice loss and clean connectors. Exceeding the rated distance or using multimode fibre will cause link failure. Only one LC duplex port is available per module.

Compatibility and patch-cord checks

Verify that your switch model appears in the supported list before ordering. Confirm the patch cord is single-mode with LC connectors and the correct polish for the port. Ensure the opposite end uses the paired upstream BX transceiver. No configuration is needed beyond inserting the module into a compatible Gigabit Ethernet slot.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the downstream or upstream wavelength version for my link?

This module transmits at 1490 nm and receives at 1310 nm; pair it with an upstream module that does the opposite.

What does the 1 Gbps rate mean when the transceiver is installed in a switch?

The port will negotiate a 1000 Mbps full-duplex Ethernet link over single-mode fibre.

Which LC single-mode fibre standard does the 10 km reach assume?

The distance rating is based on G.652 single-mode cable with standard attenuation.
