Frequent Ask Questions

• What is the Cisco GLC-2BX-D?

The Cisco GLC-2BX-D is a 2-channel 1000BASE-BX10-D downstream bidirectional transceiver module that uses single fiber for optical communication. It is equipped with Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capabilities.

• What does "downstream bidirectional" mean for the GLC-2BX-D?

"Downstream bidirectional" refers to the capability of the transceiver to handle data transmission in both directions over a single strand of fiber, with downstream typically indicating the direction towards the end user from the central office or core network.

• What type of fiber is compatible with the Cisco GLC-2BX-D?

The Cisco GLC-2BX-D is compatible with single-mode fiber (SMF).

• What is the maximum distance the Cisco GLC-2BX-D can cover?

The GLC-2BX-D can cover distances up to 10 kilometers (km) over single-mode fiber.

• What is Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) and does the GLC-2BX-D support it?

Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) provides real-time monitoring of the transceiver’s operating parameters, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage. Yes, the GLC-2BX-D supports DOM.

• Is the Cisco GLC-2BX-D hot-swappable?

Yes, the Cisco GLC-2BX-D is a hot-swappable transceiver, which means it can be installed or removed without shutting down the system or rebooting.

• Which devices are compatible with the Cisco GLC-2BX-D transceiver module?

The GLC-2BX-D is compatible with a wide range of Cisco switches and routers that have Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports. It is important to verify compatibility with specific Cisco devices before deployment.

• Are there any safety regulations to consider when using the Cisco GLC-2BX-D?

Yes, as with any optical transceiver, it is important to comply with safety regulations related to fiber optic transmission, such as avoiding direct eye exposure to laser beams and ensuring proper handling to prevent damage to the fiber and module.

• How do I install the Cisco GLC-2BX-D transceiver?

To install the Cisco GLC-2BX-D transceiver, simply insert it into the appropriate SFP port on your Cisco device and connect the single-mode fiber cable. Ensure the module is seated securely and the locking mechanism engages.
