Comnet SFP-SX Gigabit Sfp Transceiver 850nm Lc Multimode

Product Description

The COMNET SFP-SX is a small form-factor pluggable transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multimode fiber. Operating at an 850nm wavelength, it supports link distances up to 550 meters using a duplex LC fiber interface. This module slots into any SFP-compatible port on a switch, media converter, or network appliance, providing a reliable fiber uplink in structured cabling environments. Installation is typically performed by network technicians or low-voltage communications contractors working with enterprise or industrial Ethernet infrastructure.

This transceiver is suited for short-reach Gigabit fiber links in commercial buildings, campus networks, and industrial facilities where multimode fiber is already deployed. It is a standard 1000BASE-SX SFP module commonly used in patch panel-to-switch connections, server room uplinks, and media converter applications. The LC duplex connector type aligns with the most widely installed multimode fiber plant in use today.

Key Features

• 850nm VCSEL wavelength optimized for multimode fiber transmission
• Supports link distances up to 550 meters over OM2 or better multimode fiber
• LC duplex connector interface for standard fiber patch cord termination
• 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet protocol compliance
• Hot-pluggable SFP form factor for tool-free installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-spare SFP module for use in SFP-slot-equipped Gigabit Ethernet switches, media converters, and network appliances supporting the 1000BASE-SX standard over multimode fiber.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians or low-voltage cabling contractors. Power down or administratively disable the SFP port before inserting or removing the module where hot-plug is not supported by the host device. Clean fiber end-faces with an approved fiber optic cleaner before mating LC connectors to prevent insertion loss. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer host-device documentation for cage slot compatibility.
