Cisco-compatible SFP for long-haul fibre

This StarTech.com GLCZXSMRGDST transceiver delivers 1.25 Gbps over single-mode fibre at 1550 nm. It is built for network operators who need a drop-in replacement for the Cisco GLC-ZX-SM-RGD module. The hot-swappable SFP form factor fits standard Mini-GBIC slots in switches and routers.

1000BASE-ZX reach and temperature limits

The IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-ZX standard defines a maximum link distance of 70 km (43.5 mi) on single-mode cable. Operating temperature is rated from 0 °C to 70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F), while storage spans -40 °C to 85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F). Humidity tolerance is 5 % to 95 % RH non-condensing.

70 km capacity with sub-1 W draw

The module comfortably handles campus and metro links up to the full 70 km specification while consuming less than 1 W. Digital diagnostic monitoring provides real-time optical power and temperature data. It will not serve shorter-reach multi-mode environments or speeds beyond 1.25 Gbps.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a different SFP for shorter links or does this 70 km module work fine?

The GLCZXSMRGDST is rated for up to 70 km on single-mode fiber; it will operate on shorter spans but you must ensure the link budget and received power stay within the transceiver limits.

What does the 1.25 Gbps rate deliver in a live Gigabit Ethernet switch?

It provides a full-duplex 1000BASE-ZX connection at line rate with IEEE 802.3z framing, so the switch sees a standard Gigabit Ethernet port.

The LC duplex port follows which MSA and what distance does that cap?

The module complies with the SFP MSA and the 1000BASE-ZX standard, which defines the 70 km reach on 1550 nm single-mode fiber.
