What is the difference between LX and LC?

What is the difference between LX and LC?

The GBIC-SX-LC is for Multi-Mode fiber cables for less than 550 meters. The GBIC-LX-LC is for Single-Mode fiber cables up to 10km, and it also supports the Multi-mode. The LC is the type of connector. Price wise, the GBIC-LX is about 2.5 more expensive than the GBCI-SX.

What is LC LX?

LC SFP LX transceiver uses with long-wavelength transmissions (1270-1355nm) over long cable runs of fiber optic cabling. This LC SFP module can run over both singlemode fiber and multimode fiber with a distance of up to 5km and 550m, respectively.

What is a GBIC connector?

A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a transceiver that converts electric currents (digital highs and lows) to optical signals, and optical signals to digital electric currents. The GBIC is typically employed in fiber optic and Ethernet systems as an interface for high-speed networking.

What is LX and SX fiber?

Types of Optical Fibers 1000BASE-LX single-mode SFP module will work with single-mode fiber in order to perform both transmission and reception of data. Whereas 1000BASE-SX multimode SFP transceiver will work with multimode fiber, which has a thicker core and allows higher speed at shorter distance.

What is LX LH?

Long Haul ( LH ) denotes longer distances while Long Wavelength ( LX ) denotes less energy which is obviously shorter distance.

What is LX in fiber?

The “LX” in 1000BASE-LX stands for long wavelength, indicating that this version of Gigabit Ethernet is intended for use with long-wavelength transmissions (1270–1355 nm) over long cable runs of fiber optic cabling.

What is a mini GBIC?

Mini GBIC transceiver is a compact, hot-pluggable module that can be installed and removed while the switch is powered on. Mini GBIC provides flexibility for using fiber Gigabit connections in both data and telecommunication applications.
