Applicable to 1000BASE-EX Standard Optical Transceiver Models
2016-12-07

Introduction

In this article we will discuss about the 1000BASE-EX Ethernet standard and its optical transceivers and the brands offer which offers you these and their basic solutions, So you can have a basic understanding for 1000BASE-EX technology to understand the basic solutions to 1000BASE-EX. Also, you can check the compatible Cozlink transceivers to get compatible and cost-effective products.

What is the 1000BASE-EX technology?

1000BASE-EX is a non-standard but industry accepted term to refer to Gigabit Ethernet transmission. It is very similar to 1000BASE-LX10 but achieves longer distances up to 40 km over a pair of single-mode fibers due to higher quality optics than a LX10, running on 1310 nm wavelength lasers. It is sometimes referred to as LH (Long Haul), and is easily confused with 1000BASE-LX10 or 1000BASE-ZX because the use of -LX(10), -LH, -EX, and -ZX is ambiguous between vendors. 1000BASE-ZX is a very similar non-standard longer-reach variant that uses 1550 nm wavelength optics.

What are the Difference Between 1000BASE-EX and 1000BASE-ZX?

The 1000BASE-EX operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 40 km in length.  1000BASE-EX is the IEEE standard that defines the requirement for sending information at 100 Mbps on unshielded twisted-pair cabling, and defines various aspects of running baseband Ethernet on this cabling.


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.

Conclusion

Due to the different brand is only applicable to their own devices, makes third-party compatible optical transceiver is very important, it ensures that two different brands of equipment are compatible with each other. Cozlink transceiver has high performance; it can fully compatible with different brands, and Cozlink price is much less than the original manufacturer, so it is a perfect third-party compatible optical transceiver for 1000BASE-EX Ethernet standard solution. Apart from transceivers, Cozlink also provides all kinds of patch cords, pigtails, high speed cables for your choice.
