Description

The GLC-SX-MM-RGD-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco GLC-SX-MM-RGD. Designed for industrial environments, this rugged SFP operates plug-and-play in Cisco switches, routers, and network interface cards with extended operating temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. - IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard compliance ensures interoperability with legacy and current Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure - SFP form factor, 1.25 Gbps data rate, 850nm VCSEL laser transmitter, duplex LC connector - Multi-mode fibre compatible: up to 550m over 50/125 micron OM2 fibre, up to 220m over 62.5/125 micron FDDI-grade fibre - Digital Optical Monitoring support via SFF-8472 MSA for real-time parameter tracking including optical power, temperature, and laser bias current - Hardened components and extended -40 to 85 degrees Celsius operating temperature range for harsh outdoor and factory environments - Hot-swappable design with single 3.3V power supply and power consumption under 1W

Features

• IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX compliance guarantees interoperability with any standards-compliant Gigabit Ethernet platform using multi-mode fibre infrastructure at 850nm
• 850nm VCSEL laser transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver deliver up to 9 dB optical link budget, sufficient for 550m links over OM2 and OM3 multi-mode fibre under typical attenuation conditions
• Industrial temperature rating from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius achieved through ruggedized component selection and metal enclosure thermal design, enabling deployment in factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and harsh climate installations
• SFF-8472 MSA compliant Digital Optical Monitoring exposes real-time transceiver parameters including transmit and receive optical power, supply voltage, temperature, and laser bias current for proactive link diagnostics and failure prediction
• Hot-swappable SFP MSA form factor allows port-level insertion and removal without powering down host equipment, minimizing service interruption during maintenance or upgrades
• Single 3.3V supply with sub-1W power dissipation and lower EMI metal housing reduce thermal load per port and simplify power budget planning in high-density SFP installations
• Duplex LC optical interface supports legacy 62.5/125 micron FDDI-grade fibre and modern 50/125 micron OM2/OM3/OM4 multi-mode fibre, providing backward compatibility and migration flexibility

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco GLC-SX-MM-RGD?
A: Yes. The GLC-SX-MM-RGD-BCC is designed as a direct replacement. It matches the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard, SFP form factor, 1.25 Gbps data rate, 850nm wavelength, and -40 to 85 degree Celsius operating range of the Cisco original. The module is plug-and-play compatible with Cisco equipment that specifies the GLC-SX-MM-RGD.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this transceiver?
A: This transceiver is compatible with Cisco industrial Ethernet switches, routers, network interface cards, and fibre media converters that feature SFP ports and support 1000BASE-SX optics. The industrial temperature rating makes it suitable for ruggedized Cisco platforms designed for factory, outdoor, and extended-temperature deployments. Compatibility is determined by the platform supporting IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX on SFP ports.

Q: What is the actual reach over OM3 and OM4 fibre compared to OM2?
A: The IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard specifies up to 550m over 50/125 micron OM2 fibre. Over OM3 and OM4 fibre with lower attenuation and higher modal bandwidth, this module can reliably achieve the same 550m distance and may support greater distances depending on link budget. The 9 dB optical budget provides headroom over typical OM3/OM4 attenuation, but actual distance depends on connector loss, patch panel insertion loss, and fibre condition.

Q: Can I monitor the transceiver health and optical power levels in real time?
A: Yes. This module supports Digital Optical Monitoring via the SFF-8472 MSA interface. Your network operating system or switch management software can query the transceiver for transmit power, receive power, supply voltage, temperature, and laser bias current. This data enables proactive link monitoring, threshold alarms, and diagnostics without external test equipment. DOM is accessible through standard CLI or SNMP on compatible Cisco platforms.

Q: What makes the rugged version different from the standard GLC-SX-MMD?
A: The rugged variant extends the operating temperature range to -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, compared to the 0 to 70 degree Celsius range of standard commercial modules. This is achieved through component selection rated for industrial environments, enhanced thermal design, and materials that tolerate temperature cycling and vibration. The rugged version is required for outdoor cabinets, factory floors, and transportation applications where ambient temperature or enclosure heat exceeds commercial limits.
