Mini-GBIC Module LX/LC ROLINE 21.14.3501 Single Mode 10 km

The ROLINE Mini-GBIC Module LX/LC 21.14.3501 is a single-mode optical transceiver for long-distance Ethernet links. Designed for up to 10 km transmission over E9/125 µm single-mode fibre, this compact, hot-swappable module supports full-duplex operation and is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment that accepts Mini-GBIC (SFP) form factors.

Advantages

This Mini-GBIC module provides reliable single-mode optical connectivity for network extension, with a maximum reach of 10 km on E9/125 µm fibre. Its LX wavelength and LC connector offer industry-standard interfacing, while the hot-swappable design enables maintenance or replacement without powering down the host device. The compact SFP form factor conserves slot space and ensures broad compatibility with switches and routers that support Mini-GBIC modules.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers over single-mode fibre links up to 10 km
• Extending network backbones between buildings or campus sites
• Replacing or upgrading existing SFP/LX ports in network equipment

How to use

Insert the Mini-GBIC module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch or router until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode LC-terminated fibre optic cable (E9/125 µm) between devices, ensuring correct transmit/receive alignment. The module supports full-duplex operation; after insertion the host device should recognize the transceiver automatically. To remove, press the module’s release mechanism and pull it out while the system is running, if supported.

Recommendations

Use about 10 km single-mode fibres with proper LC connectors and follow equipment vendor guidelines for supported SFP modules. Avoid bending or stressing fibre cables and ensure dust caps are used when connectors are not in use to maintain signal integrity.
