Cisco GLC-LH-SMD Gigabit SFP Transceiver Module 10km SMF/MMF

Cisco GLC-LH-SMD SFP Module

The Cisco GLC-LH-SMD Transceiver provides enterprise-grade connectivity for Gigabit Ethernet applications across both single-mode and multimode fiber infrastructure. This hot-swappable input/output device plugs directly into a Gigabit Ethernet port or SFP slot. Consequently, it links the network port with the fiber-optic cabling plant. The module fully adheres to the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH standard. Therefore, it ensures interoperability with standardized networking hardware. This specific model features Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support. This capability allows network engineers to access real-time operating parameters via the switch command-line interface.

Key Features

• Dual Fiber Support
  The hardware operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans up to 10km and up to 550m on any multimode fibers.

• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM)

  • Real-time monitoring of transceiver temperature
  • Laser bias current tracking
  • Transmitted and received optical power measurement

• Hot-Swappable Functionality
  Network administrators can remove or replace this interface module without powering down the host switch or router.
