Upgrade your network's long-distance data transmission capabilities with the industry-standard TRENDnet 1000Base-SX SFP Multi-Mode LC Transceiver Module (Model TEG-MGBSX). This hot-pluggable Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver converts a standard Mini-GBIC slot on an enterprise switch, router, or media converter into a high-speed fiber optic uplink. Engineered for multi-mode fiber infrastructure configurations, the TEG-MGBSX enables network administrators to bridge critical core hardware components across localized corporate complexes, data storage arrays, and network server backbones with zero latency.
Operating over an 850nm optical wavelength, this high-efficiency transceiver delivers up to 1.25Gbps of raw Gigabit Ethernet throughput and supports 1.0625Gbps Fiber Channel operations. The device features a standard Duplex LC fiber connection port, supporting physical cable transmission runs up to 550 meters (1,800 feet). Encased within a rugged, low-emission metal housing, the TEG-MGBSX minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and supports real-time hot-swapping—allowing hardware modifications or maintenance without power-cycling active network equipment.
Key Features
- 550m Multi-Mode Extension: Transmits reliable Gigabit signals over short to medium distances up to 550m (1,800 ft.) using multi-mode fiber optic cable cores.
- Duplex LC Connection Interface: Features a standard dual LC network interface for reflection-free optical alignments and broad compatibility with fiber patch cords.
- Hot-Pluggable MSA Compliance: Built to Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Multi-Source Agreement standards, meaning it plugs directly into compatible SFP chassis slots without disrupting system power.
- High-Speed Multi-Protocol Support: Rated for line speeds up to 1.25Gbps for Gigabit Ethernet and 1.0625Gbps for dedicated Fibre Channel operations.
- Low-EMI Metal Enclosure: Protective metal outer casing controls electromagnetic leakage, protecting surrounding server room hardware from data distortion.
- Ultra-Low Power Footprint: Highly-optimized electronics draw a maximum of just 0.8 Watts, limiting thermal generation inside high-density network switches.
