Transition Networks TN-SFP-LXB11 Sfp 1000BASE-LX Transceiver

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS TN-SFP-LXB11 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module rated for 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet operation over single-mode fiber. The module converts electrical data signals to optical signals, enabling high-speed network connectivity in managed switches, media converters, and other SFP-capable network equipment. It follows the industry-standard SFP form factor, allowing hot-swap installation without powering down the host device. Network technicians and structured cabling professionals install this module in data center, enterprise, and industrial network builds where fiber uplinks are required.

The TN-SFP-LXB11 is suited for gigabit fiber backbone runs in both commercial and light industrial environments. The 1000BASE-LX designation indicates operation over long-wavelength laser on single-mode fiber, making it appropriate for inter-building and longer campus runs where multimode distances are insufficient. It is sold as a single unit and fits any SFP-compliant port that supports 1000BASE-LX signaling.

Key Features

• 1000BASE-LX standard for Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber
• Standard SFP form factor for broad host device compatibility
• Hot-swappable design allows installation without host device power-down
• Long-wavelength laser for extended fiber reach versus 1000BASE-SX modules
• Single unit packaging for individual port upgrades or spare inventory

Compatibility

Designed for use in SFP-compliant network equipment supporting the 1000BASE-LX standard, including managed switches, media converters, and routers with open SFP slots. No specific host model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians familiar with fiber optic handling and structured cabling practices. Before inserting or removing the module, confirm the host device supports hot-swap SFP operation or power down the port as required by the equipment manufacturer. Clean fiber end-faces with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool before mating connectors to prevent insertion loss and signal degradation. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for fiber cable routing and termination.
