Extreme Networks SFP (mini-GBIC) Module

Discover the versatility and reliability of the Extreme Networks SFP (mini-GBIC) Module, a dual‑speed fiber transceiver designed to empower enterprise and industrial networks with flexible, long‑reach connectivity. This compact, plug‑in module supports both 100BASE-LX and 1000BASE-LX operation over single‑mode fiber (SMF), delivering up to 10 kilometers of dependable link distance. Whether you’re upgrading an existing network, building a new backbone, or deploying rugged environments, this SFP module provides a seamless, hot‑swappable solution that integrates smoothly with Extreme Networks equipment as well as other SFP‑compatible devices adhering to the industry SFP MSA standards.

  • Dual‑speed operation for flexible deployments: 100 Mbps (100BASE‑LX) and 1 Gbps (1000BASE‑LX) over SMF, enabling cost‑effective upgrades and scalable bandwidth while preserving existing fiber infrastructure.
  • Long‑reach single‑mode fiber support: up to 10 kilometers of link distance, ideal for campus backbones, data center interconnects, and remote site connections without multiple hops or repeaters.
  • Industrial‑grade design for challenging environments: ruggedized form factor and components built to endure demanding conditions, delivering reliable performance in embedded networks, manufacturing floors, and edge deployments.
  • Compact, hot‑swappable plug‑in form factor: SFP (mini‑GBIC) module that installs quickly into standard SFP ports, minimizes downtime, and simplifies inventory management across mixed vendor networks.
  • Broad compatibility with standard optical interfaces: conforms to the multi‑source SFP/Mini‑GBIC ecosystem, ensuring straightforward integration with Extreme Networks gear as well as other SFP‑compliant switches and routers.

How to install Extreme Networks SFP (mini-GBIC) Module

  • Power down the device only if required by your maintenance policy, or confirm hot‑swap capability for your chassis and switch model—many Extreme Networks devices support hot‑swapping of SFP modules.
  • Remove the protective dust cap from the SFP port and inspect the slot for any debris to ensure a clean connection.
  • Align the SFP module with the slot, ensuring the edge connectors are properly oriented, then insert firmly until it seats with a gentle click.
  • Connect the fiber cable to the LC duplex connector, taking care to align transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) pins correctly and to secure ferrules to prevent micro‑bends.
  • Power up (if necessary) and verify link status via the network switch or router management interface. Confirm that the interface negotiates at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps as expected, and test data transmission to verify link integrity.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What speeds does the Extreme Networks SFP (mini-GBIC) Module support?
    A: It supports dual‑speed operation: 100 Mbps (100BASE‑LX) and 1 Gbps (1000BASE‑LX) over single‑mode fiber.
  • Q: What type of fiber and distance can I use?
    A: It uses single‑mode fiber (SMF) with a reach up to 10 kilometers, depending on fiber quality and optical budget.
  • Q: Is this module compatible with non‑Extreme devices?
    A: Yes. The SFP form factor follows the industry SFP/Mini‑GBIC standards, so it should work with other SFP‑enabled switches and routers that accept LX‑class transceivers, provided the device supports compatible wavelengths and fiber type.
  • Q: Can I replace the module without powering down the chassis?
    A: Many Extreme Networks devices support hot‑swap of SFP modules. Always follow your device’s maintenance guidelines and ensure proper safety procedures when replacing components in live environments.
  • Q: What maintenance or care is required for the SFP module?
    A: Keep the LC connectors clean, avoid excessive bending of fiber cables, and store unused modules with protective caps on to prevent dust ingress and electrostatic damage.
