Applicable to 1000BASE-SX2 Standard Optical Transceiver Models
2016-12-07

Introduction:

In this article, we will briefly introduce the 1000BASE-SX2 Ethernet standard and its optical transceivers compatible brands and basic solutions, so that allows viewers to have a more profound understanding for 1000BASE-SX2 technology, better to understand the basic solutions to 1000BASE-SX2. Also to see which brands can be compatible with Cozlink transceivers, helping buyers to buy both compatible and cost-effective products.

What is the 1000BASE-SX2 technology?

1000BASE-SX is a fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard for operation over multi-mode fiber using a 770 to 860 nanometer, near infrared (NIR) light wavelength. The standard specifies a distance capability between 220 meters (62.5/125 µm fiber with low modal bandwidth) and 550 meters (50/125 µm fiber with high modal bandwidth). In practice, with good quality fiber, optics, and terminations, 1000BASE-SX will usually work over significantly longer distances. This standard is highly popular for intra-building links in large office buildings, co-location facilities and carrier-neutral Internet exchanges.

What are the Difference Between 1000BASE-SX2 and 1000BASE-LX10?

The 1000BASE-SX2 SFP, compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard, operates on legacy 50 μm multimode fiber links up to 550 m and on 62.5 μm Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multimode fibers up to 220 m. It can support up to 2km over laser-optimized 50 μm multimode fiber cable.


1000BASE-LX10 was standardized six years after the initial gigabit fiber versions as part of the Ethernet in the First Mile task group. It is very similar to 1000BASE-LX, but achieves longer distances up to 10 km over a pair of single-mode fiber due to higher quality optics. Before it was standardized 1000BASE-LX10 was essentially already in widespread use by many vendors as a proprietary extension called either 1000BASE-LX/LH or 1000BASE-LH.

Conclusion

As a lot of brands are only compatible with their own devices and this is where the third-party compatible optical transceiver becomes really important to insure ensures that the brands are equipment of these brands are compatible with each other, Cozlink is one of the most trusted source to provide high performance transceivers which are compatible with a lot of different brands, Also, the prices you get on Cozlink is much less than the original manufacturer. All this makes stands out Cozlink as the perfect place for third-party compatible optical transceiver for 1000BASE-SX2 Ethernet standard solution. Not just optical transceivers, you can also find fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice on Cozlink.
