Description

The GLC-LH-SMD-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco GLC-LH-SMD. This SFP transceiver operates as plug-and-play with Cisco switches and routers that support 1GB SFP connectivity. - IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH standard compliance ensures interoperability with other standards-based Gigabit Ethernet equipment - SFP form factor operating at 1.25Gbps, 1310nm wavelength, duplex LC connector - Up to 10km reach on single-mode fibre (SMF), up to 550m on multimode fibre (OM1/OM2 with mode-conditioning patch cord) - Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support per SFF-8472 MSA enables real-time monitoring of transmit/receive power, temperature, voltage, and laser bias current - Hot-swappable design allows installation and removal without powering down network devices - Extended temperature rating (-5°C to 85°C) suitable for enterprise and light industrial environments

Features

• IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH compliance guarantees interoperability with standards-based switches, routers, and optical transceivers from any vendor supporting the same standard, eliminating vendor lock-in concerns
• Dual fibre type support operates on 9/125 micron single-mode fibre for 10km spans or OM1/OM2 multimode fibre up to 550m when used with appropriate mode-conditioning patch cord, offering deployment flexibility within the same SKU
• SFF-8472 Digital Optical Monitoring provides five real-time diagnostic parameters (optical transmit power, optical receive power, temperature, laser bias current, supply voltage) with threshold alarms and warnings accessible via management interface
• 1310nm centre wavelength with FP (Fabry-Perot) laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver architecture delivers cost-effective performance for campus backbone, building-to-building interconnect, and data centre edge connectivity
• Extended temperature rating (-5°C to 85°C) exceeds commercial specification (0°C to 70°C) for reliable operation in environmentally challenged telecom closets, outdoor cabinets with climate control, and light industrial settings
• Hot-swap capability allows field replacement without powering down host equipment or disrupting adjacent ports, reducing maintenance windows and maximising uptime for production networks
• LC duplex connector interface with keyed insertion prevents incorrect insertion and ensures repeatable optical performance across installation and maintenance cycles

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco GLC-LH-SMD?
A: Yes. The GLC-LH-SMD-BCC is IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH compliant with matching electrical, optical, and mechanical specifications including 1.25Gbps data rate, 1310nm wavelength, SFP form factor, and duplex LC connector. It operates plug-and-play in any Cisco device with an SFP slot that supports the GLC-LH-SMD.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with any Cisco switch or router with SFP slots supporting 1GB connectivity and the 1000BASE-LX/LH standard. This includes Catalyst 2960/2960-X/2960-S series, Catalyst 3560/3650/3750 series, Catalyst 9200/9300 series, Nexus platforms with SFP support, ASR 901/903/1000/9000 series routers, ISR G2/4000 series routers, and ASA 5500 series appliances. Verify your specific platform datasheet lists GLC-LH-SMD compatibility.

Q: What are the fibre requirements for 10km reach?
A: 10km reach requires 9/125 micron single-mode fibre (SMF) meeting ITU-T G.652 specification. For multimode fibre operation (OM1 62.5 micron or OM2 50 micron), reach is limited to 550m and an IEEE-compliant mode-conditioning patch cord is required at the transmit end to offset differential mode delay and prevent modal noise from the 1310nm laser source.

Q: How do I access the Digital Optical Monitoring parameters?
A: DOM parameters are accessible via CLI or SNMP on the host device. On Cisco IOS, use "show interfaces transceiver" or "show interfaces [interface-id] transceiver detail" to view real-time optical transmit power, receive power, temperature, bias current, and voltage. Thresholds and alarm flags are stored in the transceiver EEPROM per SFF-8472 and reported to the host for proactive link health monitoring.

Q: Can I mix this transceiver with other 1000BASE-LX modules on the same link?
A: Yes. Because this transceiver is 1000BASE-LX/LH standards-compliant, it interoperates with any other 1000BASE-LX/LH module (OEM or third-party) on the same fibre span. Transmit power (-9.5 to -3 dBm) and receive sensitivity (-20 dBm minimum) match IEEE 802.3z specifications, ensuring link budget compatibility regardless of the transceiver at the opposite end of the fibre.
