Transition Networks TN-GLC-LX-SM-RGD Sfp Transceiver

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS TN-GLC-LX-SM-RGD is a ruggedized SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver designed for 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet applications over single-mode fiber. Operating at 1.2 Gbps, this module provides a compact, hot-swappable interface for network switches, routers, and media converters that require reliable fiber uplinks. It is built to ruggedized standards, making it suitable for deployments in environments where standard commercial-grade transceivers may not meet temperature or vibration tolerances. Network technicians and IT infrastructure professionals install this type of module in enterprise and industrial networking equipment.

This transceiver is suited for enterprise and industrial network infrastructure where single-mode fiber backbone connections are required. Typical installation scenarios include data center uplinks, campus distribution switches, and industrial Ethernet deployments where extended operating ranges and ruggedized durability are priorities. The 1000BASE-LX standard supports long-distance single-mode fiber runs, making this module appropriate for inter-building or backbone links.

Key Features

• 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber
• 1.2 Gbps data rate for full Gigabit throughput
• Ruggedized construction for extended environmental tolerance
• Hot-swappable SFP form factor for field serviceability
• Compact SFP footprint compatible with standard SFP slots

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-installable SFP transceiver for network switches, routers, and media converters equipped with standard SFP slots supporting 1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians. Before handling, follow ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions and ensure the host device slot is powered and ready to accept a hot-swap insertion per the host equipment manufacturer guidelines. Do not remove the dust plug from the fiber port until the fiber cable is ready to be connected. Inspect fiber connectors for cleanliness before mating to avoid signal loss.
