Small rectangular SFP transceiver module with side bail latch and LC duplex optical port, matte metal finish

Tripp Lite

Tripp Lite N286-01GSX-MDLC SFP transceiver 1.25 Gbps

SKU CH-ZWR1-5M5JR

A 1.25 Gbps SFP transceiver module with LC multi-mode interface operating at 850 nm for distances up to 1800 ft

  • Weight0.1 lbs
  • 25 Gbps throughput for high-speed network links
  • 850 nm wavelength supports multi-mode fibre runs
  • LC duplex connector enables standard patch-cord connections
  • Up to 1800 ft reach extends campus and data-centre links
  • MSA compliant and Cisco GLC-SX-MMD equivalent for drop-in compatibility

Cisco-compatible SFP transceiver for 1 Gbps links

This Tripp Lite N286-01GSX-MDLC module plugs into SFP ports on Cisco switches and routers. It delivers 1.25 Gbps throughput for 1000Base-SX connections over multi-mode fibre. Network engineers use it to link distribution and access layers in campus or data-centre builds. The unit is MSA compliant and initialises identically to the Cisco GLC-SX-MMD it replaces.

1.25 Gbps capacity with 1800 ft multi-mode reach

The transceiver operates at 850 nm wavelength and supports links up to 1800 ft on standard multi-mode fibre with LC connectors. It comfortably handles gigabit uplinks between wiring closets or adjacent racks. Beyond that distance the signal drops below specification, so longer runs require single-mode optics or intermediate switches. No higher data rate or extended-reach variant is provided by this module.

Low-power operation with passive cooling

Power draw is minimal, typical for a 1 Gbps SFP, and the module runs without a fan. Heat is dissipated through the metal housing into the host chassis airflow. Acoustic output is silent, making it suitable for quiet office or lab environments. The 0.1 lbs weight adds negligible load to dense patch-panel installations.

Questions about this item

Will the N286-01GSX-MDLC work in my older Cisco switch that uses standard SFP slots?

Yes, the module follows the MSA standard and fits standard SFP slots, so it will initialize and perform identically to the original Cisco GLC-SX-MMD in compatible Cisco hardware.

How can I confirm the 850 nm link is operating at the full 1.25 Gbps after installation?

Check the switch port status for a 1000Base-SX connection with no errors; the link should show 1 Gbps speed and the LC multi-mode fibre should carry traffic up to 1800 ft.

Does the N286-01GSX-MDLC ship with the LC multi-mode patch cables I need for the 1800 ft run?

The transceiver module itself is the only item supplied; LC multi-mode fibre patch cables for the 850 nm link must be purchased separately.
