SFP transceiver for gigabit multimode links

The PLANET MGB-SX2 is a hot-pluggable SFP module that adds a 1 Gbps LC fiber port to compatible switches and routers. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength over multi-mode cable and reaches up to 2 km. The unit draws power from a single 3.3 V supply and includes a TTL signal-detect indicator.

Ideal for campus and building uplinks

Network teams extending gigabit connections between floors or buildings within the 2 km multi-mode range will find this module a direct fit. It suits environments that stay within the 0 to 60 °C operating window. Installations requiring single-mode reach, higher speeds, or industrial temperature ratings should select a different transceiver.

1310 nm multi-mode wavelength

The 1310 nm multi-mode specification determines whether the module matches the installed fiber plant and link budget. Verify that the existing cabling and the far-end optics share the same wavelength and fiber type before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 2 km reach mean when the module is installed in a live switch?

The 2 km figure is the maximum link length on multi-mode fibre at 1 Gbps; actual distance depends on fibre grade and connector loss in your installation.

Which standard governs the LC interface and what speed does it cap at?

The duplex LC connector follows IEEE 802.3z for 1000BASE-SX, limiting the port to 1 Gbps full-duplex operation.

What slot width and power rail does the module need to fit and run?

It fits a standard SFP cage and draws power from a single 3.3 V supply; the hot-pluggable design requires no tools for insertion.
