Cisco GLC-ZX-SM Compatible 1000BASE-ZX SFP Transceiver Module (SMF, 1550nm, 80km, LC)
Cisco GLC-ZX-SM compatible SFP transceiver supports up to 80km link lengths over LC duplex SMF fiber. Each SFP transceiver module is individually tested to be used on a series of Cisco switches, routers, servers, network interface card (NICs) etc.
Featuring low power consumption, the hot swappable 1G SFP transceiver is ideal for Internet Service Provider (ISP) Gigabit Ethernet communication links, Enterprise LAN & SAN Networks, Data Center LAN & SAN Networks and other optical links.
GLC-ZX-SM Overview
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.

Specification
The industry-standard Cisco Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Interface Converter is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network (Figures 1, 2 and 3). 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.

From GLC-LH-SMD, GLC-SX-MMD, and GLC-ZX-SM optical modules. We can
See the package type, speed, interface, and commercial temperature of the three optical modules are the same, but the other aspects are different. For example, we can see from the model. In addition to the “D” in the model of the GLC-ZX-SM optical module, the other two optical modules are available, and the “D” at the end of the model represents DOM work. This means that the GLC-ZX-SM optical module does not support DOM functionality, while the other two optical modules support it.
GLC-LH-SMD、GLC-SX-MMD、GLC-ZX-SM Comparison
These three optical modules are not absolutely good or bad, you need to choose the right optical module according to your network application. From a functional point of view. See, Cisco GLC-LH-SMD, GLC-SX-MMD optical modules have more DOM functions than GLC-ZX-SM optical modules, if you need to have DOM function For optical modules, it is not recommended to choose the GLC-ZX-SM optical module. If you need a long-distance optical module, it is recommended that you choose a GLC-ZX-SM optical module with a transmission distance of 70km; if it is a short-distance transmission, you can
Select the GLC-SX-MMD optical module with a transmission distance of 550m; if you need 10km data transmission, it is recommended that you select the GLC-LH-SMD optical module.
FAQ:
Q:I am looking for transceivers for Ubuquiti switches, is it compatible with it?
A:Yes, I installed several for my switch, and they are working well.
Q:Can product #17237 (Unmanaged 1x 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 to 1x 1000Base-X SFP, Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter, AC 100V~240V) use this transceiver module? Running as single-mode transceiver?
A:Yes, this module is perfect for your media converter and runs as a single-mode transceiver.
