Cisco Fiber Optic Module GLC-ZX-SMD:
The Cisco Fiber Optic Module GLC-ZX-SMD is a Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for long-distance network connectivity over single-mode fiber (SMF). It is hot-swappable and compatible with Cisco switches and routers that have SFP ports.
The GLC-ZX-SMD is engineered to transmit data at 1Gbps over distances up to 80 kilometers (km), making it ideal for connecting network devices across large campuses, metropolitan areas, or between data centers. Its “ZX” designation stands for “Extended Distance”, and the “SMD” indicates support for Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), allowing administrators to monitor real-time parameters like temperature, power levels, and voltage.
This module designed by Cisco company and you can buy it in network equipment market with 1-year Atech warranty. If you want to know more about network module specially cisco fiber optical module, you can contact us.
Featuers of Cisco GLC-ZX-SMD:
- Speed: Supports 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) data transfer rate.
- Distance: Up to 80 km (49.7 miles) over single-mode fiber (SMF) using a standard LC duplex connector.
- Wavelength: Operates at 1550 nm (long-wavelength/ZX range).
- Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM): Monitors optical power, temperature, and voltage levels for diagnostics and network health checks.
- Hot-Swappable: Can be inserted or removed without shutting down the switch or router.
- Connector Type: LC duplex connector for standard fiber patch cords.
- Compatibility: Works with a wide range of Cisco devices with SFP ports (e.g., Catalyst, Nexus, and ISR series), including the WS-C3850-48F-S.
Common Use Cases:
- Long-Distance Links: Connecting network devices across cities, university campuses, or large enterprise sites.
- Data Center Interconnects: Ideal for linking geographically separated data centers with stable and high-speed connectivity.
- Service Provider Networks: Used by ISPs and telecom providers to deliver high-speed access over long-haul fiber networks.
- Enterprise Backbone Networks: A cost-effective solution for high-speed and long-reach connections within large-scale enterprise architectures.
