SFPs can be used and interchanged on a wide variety of Cisco products and can be intermixed in combinations of 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-EX, 1000BASE-ZX, or 1000BASE-BX10-D/U on a port-by-port basis. 1000BASE-T SFP for Copper Networks The 1000BASE-T SFP operates on standard Category 5 unshielded twisted pair copper cabling of up to 100m (328 ft) link length. Cisco 1000BASE-T SFP modules support 10/100/1000 autonegotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX. 1000BASE-SX SFP for Multimode Fiber Only The 1000BASE-SX SFP, compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard, operates on legacy 50 μm multimode fiber links up to 550 m and on 62.5 μm Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multimode fibers up to 220 m. It can support up to 1km over laser-optimized 50 μm multimode fiber cable. 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP for Both Multimode and Single-Mode Fibers The 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP, compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard, operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 10 km and up to 550 m on any multimode fibers. When used over legacy multimode fiber type, the transmitter should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cable. 1000BASE-EX SFP for Long-Reach Single-Mode Fibers The 1000BASE-EX SFP operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 40 km in length. A 5-dB inline optical attenuator should be inserted between the fiber-optic cable and the receiving port on the SFP at each end of the link for back-to-back connectivity. 1000BASE-ZX SFP for Long-Reach Single-Mode Fibers The 1000BASE-ZX SFP operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to approximately 70 km in length. The SFP provides an optical link budget of 21 dB, but the precise link span length depends on multiple factors such as fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors. When shorter distances of single-mode fiber (SMF) are used, it might be necessary to insert an inline optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver. A 10-dB inline optical attenuator should be inserted between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the SFP at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span loss is less than 8 dB. 1000BASE-BX10-D and 1000BASE-BX10-U SFP for Single-Fiber Bidirectional Applications The 1000BASE-BX-D and 1000BASE-BX-U SFPs, compatible with the IEEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10-D and 1000BASE-BX10-U standards, operate on a single strand of standard SMF. A 1000BASE-BX10-D device is always connected to a 1000BASE-BX10-U device with a single strand of standard SMF with an operating transmission range up to 10 km. The communication over a single strand of fiber is achieved by separating the transmission wavelength of the two devices as depicted in Figure 3: 1000BASE-BX10-D transmits a 1490-nm channel and receives a 1310-nm signal, whereas 1000BASE-BX10-U transmits at a 1310-nm wavelength and receives a 1490-nm signal. Note in Figure 3 the presence of a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) splitter integrated into the SFP to split the 1310-nm and 1490-nm light paths. The GLC-BX-D and GLC-BX-U SFPs also support digital optical monitoring (DOM) functions according to the industry-standard SFF-8472 multisource agreement (MSA). This feature gives the end user the ability to monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage. 2-channel 1000BASE-BX10-D for Single-Fiber Bidirectional Applications The 2-channel 1000BASE-BX-D SFP module, also known as Compact SFP, integrates two IEEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10-D interfaces in one SFP module. The GLC-2BX-D is always connected to two 1000BASE-BX10-U interfaces over two single strands of standard SMF with an operating transmission range up to 10km. GLC-2BX-D is designed to connect to any standard-based Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) in FTTx links Specifications SFP Port Cabling Specifications Product Wavelength (nm) Fiber Type Core Size (μm) Modal Bandwidth (MHz* Km)*** Operating Distance (m) 1000BASE-SX 850 MMF 62.5 160 (FDDI-grade) 220 (722 ft)       62.5 200 (OM1) 275 (902 ft)       50 400 500 (1,640 ft)       50 500 (OM2) 550 (1,804 ft)       50 2000 (OM3) 1000 (3281 ft) 1000BASE-LX/LH 1310 MMF* 62.5 500 550 (1,804 ft)       50 400 550 (1,804 ft)       50 500 550 (1,804 ft)     SMF -** – 10,000 (32,821 ft) 1000BASE-EX 1310 SMF -** – 40,000 (131,234 ft) 1000BASE-ZX 1550 SMF – – Approximately 70 km depending on link loss 1000BASE-BX-U 1310 SMF -** – 10,000 (32,821 ft) 1000BASE-BX-D 1490 SMF -** – 10,000 (32,821 ft)Main Optical Parameters Product Transmit Power (dBm) Receive Power Range (dBm) 1000BASE-SX -3 to -9.5 0 to -17 1000BASE-LX/LH -3 to -9.5 -3 to -20 1000BASE-EX +3 to -1 +1 to -22 1000BASE-ZX +5 to 0 -3 to -23 1000BASE-BX10-D 1000BASE-BX10-U -3 to -9 -3 to -19.5Temperature Range and DOM Support Product Number Temperature Range DOM GLC-SX-MM COM No GLC-LH-SM COM No GLC-ZX-SM COM Yes GLC-BX-U COM Yes GLC-BX-D COM Yes GLC-2BX-D COM Yes GLC-T COM n/a SFP-GE-T EXT n/a SFP-GE-S EXT Yes SFP-GE-L EXT Yes SFP-GE-Z EXT Yes GLC-SX-MMD EXT Yes GLC-LH-SMD EXT Yes GLC-EX-SMD EXT Yes GLC-SX-MM-RGD IND No GLC-LX-SM-RGD IND No GLC-ZX-SM-RGD IND No
