Description
1000BASE-EX SFP TRANSCEIVER MODULE SMF
The Cisco GLC‑EX‑SMD is a high‑performance 1000BASE‑EX Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver designed for organisations that need reliable long‑distance fibre connectivity across campus networks, metropolitan links, or extended point‑to‑point connections. Built for single‑mode fibre (SMF) and operating at a 1310 nm wavelength, this module supports transmission distances of up to 40 kilometres, making it an ideal choice for businesses expanding their network footprint or connecting remote facilities with stable, high‑speed fibre.
Engineered for compatibility across a wide range of Cisco switches and routers, the GLC‑EX‑SMD is hot‑swappable, allowing seamless installation and replacement without service interruption. It features a dual‑LC connector, a DFB laser transmitter, and a PIN receiver, ensuring consistent optical performance even in demanding environments. The module also supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), giving administrators real‑time visibility into critical parameters such as temperature, optical power, and voltage—helping detect issues early and maintain optimal network health.
With an extended operating temperature range from ‑5°C to 85°C, the GLC‑EX‑SMD is suitable for deployments in harsher or industrial environments where standard optics may not perform reliably. For back‑to‑back fibre connections, Cisco recommends using a 5 dB optical attenuator to ensure safe and stable operation due to the module’s higher transmit power.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing fibre backbone or deploying new long‑reach links, the Cisco GLC‑EX‑SMD delivers dependable Gigabit performance, robust diagnostics, and broad Cisco platform compatibility. Equip Networks supplies genuine Cisco optical modules backed by local support, competitive pricing, and fast delivery across Australia—making it easy to enhance your network with enterprise‑grade fibre connectivity.
