Description

Amer MGBS-GLX40 SFP (mini-GBIC) Transceiver

The Amer MGBS-GLX40 SFP (mini-GBIC) Transceiver is built for high‑performance, long‑haul fiber connectivity in modern networks. Engineered as a 1310 nm single‑mode SFP, it delivers reliable full‑duplex Gigabit Ethernet over both single‑mode and multimode fiber, with impressive reach up to 40 kilometers on standard 9 µm fiber. This hot‑plugable module features a rugged metal housing that minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) while maximizing durability in dense data center racks, campus backbones, and edge deployments. The compact form factor fits into any standard SFP slot, enabling easy upgrades without changing existing infrastructure. Whether you’re modernizing a backbone link, extending a campus network, or provisioning scalable, future‑proof connectivity, the MGBS‑GLX40 provides straightforward, plug‑and‑play operation with dependable performance and broad compatibility.

  • The MGBS-GLX40 operates at 1310 nm using single‑mode optics to deliver high‑quality, long‑distance Gigabit Ethernet with full‑duplex bandwidth for demanding applications.
  • Reach and compatibility: supports distances up to 40 kilometers on standard 9 µm fiber, enabling metro, campus, and backhaul links while remaining compatible with a wide range of switches, routers, and media converters.
  • Robust, EMI‑reducing design: metal housing helps shield the transceiver from external interference and enhances durability in challenging environments and dense equipment racks.
  • Hot‑pluggable, standard SFP form factor: designed for easy insertion and removal, enabling flexible network upgrades with minimal downtime and without migration overhead.
  • Plug‑and‑play reliability: provides simple deployment for IT teams, with no programming required in most systems and seamless integration into existing 1 Gbps Ethernet networks.

How to Install Amer MGBS-GLX40 SFP (mini-GBIC) Transceiver

To ensure optimal performance and reliability, follow these installation guidelines. The MGBS-GLX40 is designed as a hot‑pluggable module, but always refer to your device’s service guidelines when performing maintenance in critical environments.

  • 1. Power considerations: Many devices support hot swapping of SFP modules. If your equipment supports hot insertion, you may install the transceiver with the system powered on; otherwise, power down the device before insertion following vendor instructions.
  • 2. Prepare the SFP cage: Identify the correct SFP slot on your switch, router, or media converter. Confirm that the port is configured for Gigabit Ethernet and supports 1310 nm single‑mode operation or is compatible with the MGBS‑GLX40.
  • 3. Handle with care: Remove the dust cap from the transceiver and inspect the LC duplex connectors for cleanliness. Do not touch the gold contacts or the fiber end faces to avoid contamination that can degrade signal quality.
  • 4. Insert the module: Align the transceiver with the SFP cage and gently insert until the module seats and the locking mechanism engages. Ensure there is no obstruction and that the module is firmly connected.
  • 5. Attach fiber correctly: Connect a clean duplex LC fiber patch cord to the LC connectors on the transceiver, ensuring proper transmit/receive pairing. Use a termination and cleaning procedure appropriate for your fiber type to maintain signal integrity.
  • 6. Verify operation: Power on (if required) and check the host device’s status indicators or management interface to confirm a link is established at 1 Gbps. If needed, adjust port settings (speed/duplex) to match the connected device for optimal performance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the maximum distance supported by the Amer MGBS-GLX40?
    A: The transceiver supports up to 40 kilometers on suitable single‑mode fiber, enabling long‑haul links across campuses or between buildings.
  • Q: What fiber type and connectors does this SFP use?
    A: It uses single‑mode fiber with LC duplex connectors, designed for duplex Gigabit Ethernet links over long distances.
  • Q: Is this module hot‑pluggable?
    A: Yes. The MGBS‑GLX40 is designed for hot swapping, allowing installation and replacement without powering down the entire network in many environments, in accordance with device and data‑center policies.
  • Q: What network speed does it support?
    A: It delivers a Gigabit Ethernet data rate of up to 1 Gbps in full‑duplex mode.
  • Q: Do I need special configuration?
