Description

The GLC-LX-SM-RGD-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco GLC-LX-SM-RGD. This rugged SFP transceiver operates plug-and-play in Cisco industrial switches and routers requiring 1000BASE-LX connectivity in harsh environments. - IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX compliance guarantees interoperability with standard Gigabit Ethernet networks over single-mode and multimode fiber - SFP form factor, 1.25Gb/s data rate, 1310nm wavelength, LC duplex connector, up to 10km reach on single-mode fiber (G.652 SMF) or 550m on multimode fiber - Industrial temperature range from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius for deployment in outdoor installations, manufacturing facilities, and extreme environmental conditions - Hot-swappable design minimizes network disruption during installation or replacement - Compatible with both single-mode fiber for long-distance links and multimode fiber for shorter runs (mode conditioning patch cable recommended for legacy 62.5um MMF) - Transmit power range -3 to -9.5 dBm, receive sensitivity -3 to -20 dBm, providing 15 dB optical link budget for reliable operation

Features

• IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH compliance ensures full interoperability with standard-based Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure, allowing seamless integration into heterogeneous networks without vendor lock-in
• Industrial temperature qualification from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius enables deployment in extreme outdoor environments, factory floors, substation enclosures, and other harsh conditions where commercial-grade optics fail
• Dual fiber type support over single-mode (up to 10 km) and multimode (up to 550 m) allows flexible deployment across existing campus fiber infrastructure, though mode conditioning patch cables are recommended for legacy 62.5um MMF to mitigate differential mode delay
• 1310nm long-wavelength transmission reduces chromatic dispersion and attenuation over distance compared to 850nm short-wavelength systems, delivering stable link performance across extended fiber runs
• Hot-swappable SFP form factor allows field installation and replacement without powering down the host switch or router, minimizing service interruption during maintenance windows
• 15 dB optical link budget (transmit power -3 to -9.5 dBm, receive sensitivity up to -20 dBm) provides margin for fiber aging, connector loss, and splices in real-world field deployments

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco GLC-LX-SM-RGD?
A: Yes. The GLC-LX-SM-RGD-BCC is functionally identical to the Cisco GLC-LX-SM-RGD, sharing the same SFP form factor, 1.25Gb/s data rate, 1310nm wavelength, and IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/LH compliance. It operates plug-and-play in any Cisco switch or router port that accepts the original module.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this rugged SFP?
A: This module is designed for Cisco Industrial Ethernet switches and routers requiring extended temperature operation, including platforms with SFP slots that support 1000BASE-LX/LH transceivers. Compatibility depends on the host device supporting industrial-grade SFPs with -40 to 85 degree Celsius temperature ratings, not on specific model numbers.

Q: Can I use this on multimode fiber, and do I need mode conditioning?
A: Yes, this module supports multimode fiber up to 550m on 62.5um or 50um MMF. However, when deployed over legacy 62.5/125um multimode fiber, a mode conditioning patch cable is recommended at the transmit side to minimize differential mode delay (DMD) and ensure clean signal transmission. Single-mode fiber deployments do not require mode conditioning.

Q: What is the maximum fiber span I can achieve without inline attenuation?
A: The module provides a 15 dB link budget (transmit power -3 to -9.5 dBm, receive sensitivity up to -20 dBm), which typically supports up to 10km on G.652 single-mode fiber. For shorter single-mode spans with very low loss (less than 8 dB total), you may need to insert a 10 dB inline optical attenuator at each receiver to prevent overloading, per Cisco SFP deployment guidelines.

Q: Does this module require a specific power-down sequence or initialization delay when hot-swapping?
A: No. As a hot-swappable SFP module, it can be inserted or removed from a powered SFP port without shutting down the host device. The host platform automatically detects the module via I2C communication and initializes the link. There is no manual initialization sequence required, though link establishment typically takes a few seconds after insertion.
