Fiber optic transceiver module PLANET MGB-TSX2

The PLANET MGB-TSX2 is a mini-GBIC (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module that supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbps and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Designed for use in industrial and commercial Gigabit Ethernet networks, the nickel-coloured module provides a duplex data link over single-mode optical fiber and is compatible with PLANET SFP interfaces and other SFP-compliant equipment. Its hot-pluggable design allows installation or replacement without powering down the host device, and the module is specified to operate across an extended temperature range for demanding environments.

Advantages

The MGB-TSX2 offers a compact Small Form Factor Pluggable design that supports reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber. It features hot-pluggable installation for minimal network disruption and broad compatibility with PLANET industrial media converters, switches and third-party SFP ports. The module is built to meet extended temperature requirements and provides stable performance for electrically harsh environments.

Suitable for

• Industrial and commercial Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Integration with PLANET industrial SFP media converters and switches
• Hot-swap installation in SFP-compliant network equipment
• Environments requiring extended temperature operation (-40°C to 75°C)

How to use

Insert the MGB-TSX2 into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, media converter or other networking device while the host is powered on; the hot-pluggable design supports installation without downtime. Connect the single-mode fiber cable to the transceiver duplex port, ensuring correct TX/RX alignment. Verify link status via the host device’s indicators or management interface and configure network settings as required for Gigabit Ethernet operation.

Recommendations

Install the transceiver in SFP-compliant ports only, use single-mode fiber at 1310 nm, and follow manufacturer guidelines for dust caps and handling. For reliable operation in industrial environments, confirm the host device supports extended temperature SFP modules and maintain proper cable routing to avoid mechanical stress.
