Description
Elevate your fiber backbone with a reliable, cost‑effective 1000Base‑BX SFP transceiver designed for long‑reach links and seamless interoperability. This Brocade compatible module (formerly E1MG‑BXD‑110) is built to deliver dependable gigabit Ethernet throughput over single‑mode fiber, enabling data centers, enterprise campuses, and carrier‑grade networks to scale without overhauling existing infrastructure. With Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support, TAA compliance, and an LC duplex interface, this transceiver is a smart, practical choice for expanding uplink capacity while maintaining tight control over link health and performance.
- Unmatched long‑haul capability: 1000Base‑BX throughput over single‑mode fiber (SMF) up to 110 kilometers, letting you extend connectivity between distant switches, routers, and adapters without signal degradation or costly repeaters. This makes it ideal for dispersed data centers, metro networks, and campus backbones where fiber runs are extensive.
- Bidirectional, wavelength‑based design: Transmit at 1550 nm and receive at 1490 nm on a single fiber, leveraging different wavelengths for upstream and downstream signals. This approach minimizes fiber usage and simplifies cable management while delivering robust performance in dense environments. For proper operation, pair with a compatible transceiver or network device using the complementary wavelength to form a complete link.
- Standard LC duplex interface: The compact LC connector supports easy, industry‑standard installation in SFP cages across a wide range of switches, routers, and network appliances. Its slim profile helps maximize port density in data centers and edge deployments, while ensuring reliable optical connection with low insertion loss.
- Smart monitoring and reliability: DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) provides real‑time visibility into optical power, temperature, and link status, enabling proactive diagnostics and faster fault isolation. This helps administrators optimize uptime, perform preventive maintenance, and tune performance without powering down critical equipment.
- Compliance and compatibility you can trust: This module is TAA compliant and designed for seamless integration with Brocade networks (Formerly E1MG‑BXD‑110). It’s engineered to work with compatible 1000Base‑BX ecosystems, enabling a straightforward upgrade path and consistent performance across licensed enterprise and service provider environments.

How to install the Brocade (Formerly) E1MG-BXD-110 Compatible 1000Base-BX SFP Transceiver
- Power down or follow your device’s hot‑swap policy before installing the transceiver to protect components and avoid electrostatic discharge.
- Insert the SFP module into an appropriate SFP cage or slot until it firmly seats with a click, ensuring the locking mechanism engages securely.
- Attach a single‑mode fiber patch cable with LC connectors, ensuring the TX/RX orientation matches the counterpart device. Align connectors carefully to prevent fiber stress and minimize insertion loss.
- Power on the device and use the management interface to verify the module is recognized. Check DOM status, link status, and initial optical power readings to confirm healthy operation.
- Configure the uplink port with the desired speed and duty cycle, and run a baseline throughput test to confirm 110 km link viability under your network load and traffic patterns.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What scenarios is this transceiver best suited for?
A: It is ideal for long‑haul gigabit uplinks in data centers, enterprise campuses, and service provider backbones where SMF with LC connections and a 110 km reach are advantageous. Use it when you need to extend reach beyond standard short‑haul SFP modules while preserving a single‑fiber bi‑directional path.
-
Q: Do I need a matching partner transceiver?
A: Yes. 1000Base‑BX is bidirectional on a single fiber; it requires a counterpart transceiver or network device at the opposite end operating on the complementary wavelength (the other side transmits at 1490 nm/1550 nm as appropriate) to complete the link.
-
Q: Is DOM essential for operation?
A: DOM is not required for basic link operation, but it provides valuable real‑time monitoring data. If you manage networks with optical budgets or frequent maintenance windows, DOM helps you quickly identify power variations or component drift before a failure occurs.
-
Q: Can I use this module in non‑Brocade equipment?
A: While it is designed for Brocade compatibility and marketed accordingly, 1000Base‑BX SFP modules can function in other devices that support the same standard and wavelength pairing, subject to vendor compatibility and firmware constraints.
-
Q: What makes this module TAA compliant?
A: TAA compliance indicates procurement eligibility for U.S. federal and other public sector markets. It ensures the product meets the applicable trade and procurement standards, facilitating easy acquisition for public institutions.
