Fiber optic transceiver module Alcatel-Lucent SFP-GIG-LX

The Alcatel-Lucent SFP-GIG-LX is a single-mode fiber optic transceiver module with an LC connector, designed for 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet links. It operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm and supports transmission over 9/125 µm single-mode fiber with a typical reach of 10 km. Supplied as one unit per package, the module is compatible with a range of networking equipment that accepts SFP interfaces.

Advantages

The module provides reliable gigabit connectivity over long distances using single-mode fiber and a standard LC interface. Its SFP form factor allows hot-pluggable installation in compatible switches and routers, while the 1310 nm wavelength and 9/125 µm fiber support ensure predictable optical performance for point-to-point links.

How to use

Insert the SFP-GIG-LX module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or optical transceiver bay while the device is powered on or off according to the host equipment guidelines. Connect an LC-terminated single-mode fiber patch cable to the module’s LC connector, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the host interface for 1000BASE-LX or the appropriate Gigabit Ethernet mode if required by the equipment.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the host device vendor and firmware before deployment. Use single-mode 9/125 µm fiber and quality LC connectors to achieve the stated 10 km reach. Follow ESD precautions during handling and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radii.
