What this transceiver does

The TRENDnet TEG-MGBSX is a Mini-GBIC SFP module that adds a fibre uplink to a switch or router. It carries Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel traffic over multi-mode fibre at 850 nm wavelength. Network engineers use it to link aggregation switches across a building or campus.

Distance and connector decide fit

This module reaches 550 m (1800 ft) on multi-mode fibre and terminates with a duplex LC connector. The link runs at 1.25 Gbps for Ethernet or 1.0625 Gbps for Fibre Channel. If your run exceeds 550 m or your patch panel uses a different connector, this part will not work.

Plug it into any MSA SFP slot

The transceiver is hot-pluggable and draws power from a single 3.3 V supply inside the host port. Insert it until the latch clicks; removal is the same latch squeeze. The most common mistake is forcing an LC ferrule into a port keyed for single-mode or using a patch cord with the wrong polish, which kills the link.

Questions about this item

How far can the 850 nm wavelength actually reach inside a rack?

The 850 nm wavelength supports links up to 550 m (1 800 ft) over multi-mode fibre, so it covers typical rack-to-rack or cross-building runs within a campus.

What speed does the SFP MSA interface cap at in practice?

The SFP MSA slot limits the module to 1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet and 1.0625 Gbps Fibre Channel, matching the IEEE 802.3z and ANSI Fibre Channel specifications.

Will the duplex LC connector fit a standard Mini-GBIC slot on my switch?

Yes, the industry-standard SFP package with duplex LC connector fits any standard Mini-GBIC (SFP) port and operates from a single 3.3 V supply.
