Transition Networks TN-SFP-LXB42 Sfp 1000BASE-LX Transceiver

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS TN-SFP-LXB42 is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module rated for 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber. The module slots into an SFP-compatible port on a managed switch, media converter, or enterprise network device and converts electrical data signals to optical transmissions at 1310 nm wavelength. It is designed for structured cabling environments where long-distance fiber runs are required between wiring closets, data centers, or campus buildings. Network technicians and data communications installers handle this type of component as part of enterprise infrastructure deployments or upgrades.

The TN-SFP-LXB42 is suited for enterprise LAN environments where 1000BASE-LX fiber connectivity is required. Typical installation scenarios include backbone links between floors or buildings, uplink ports on stackable switches, and fiber-to-the-closet runs in commercial or institutional facilities. It is sold individually as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of failed transceiver modules in existing enterprise network infrastructure.

Key Features

• 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet standard for long-wavelength fiber operation
• SFP form factor fits standard SFP cages on switches, routers, and media converters
• Designed for single-mode fiber backbone and enterprise campus applications
• Hot-swappable module allows replacement without powering down the host device
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or incremental expansion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or expansion SFP transceiver for enterprise switches and network devices with standard SFP port cages supporting 1000BASE-LX operation.

Installation Notes

SFP transceivers are installed by licensed or qualified network technicians following the host device manufacturer guidelines. Before handling, observe proper ESD precautions and use an antistatic wrist strap to prevent damage to the optical components. Do not remove the dust cap from the fiber port until the fiber cable is ready to be seated. Verify the host device supports 1000BASE-LX SFP modules before installation to confirm optical compatibility.
