Introduction

In this article we will discuss about the 1000BASE-LX 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-LX technology to understand the basic solutions to 1000BASE-LX. Also, you can check the compatible Cozlink transceivers to get compatible and cost-effective products.

What is 1000BASE-LX Technology?

1000BASE-LX is a fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard specified in IEEE 802.3 Clause 38 which uses a long wavelength laser (1,270–1,355 nm), and a maximum RMS spectral width of 4 nm. 1000BASE-LX is specified to work over a distance of up to 5 km over 10 µm single-mode fiber. 1000BASE-LX can also run over all common types of multi-mode fiber with a maximum segment length of 550 m. For link distances greater than 300 m, the use of a special launch conditioning patch cord may be required. This launches the laser at a precise offset from the center of the fiber which causes it to spread across the diameter of the fiber core, reducing the effect known as differential mode delay which occurs when the laser couples onto only a small number of available modes in multi-mode fiber.

What is the difference between 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX?

The IEEE 802.3-2002 is a gigabit Ethernet solution over fiber that supports half- and full-duplex transmission at speeds of 1Gbps (1000mbps). The 1000Base-SX standard was developed to support lower cost multimode fiber runs in horizontal and shorter-length backbone applications. The 1000Base-SX standard supports the multimode fiber distances shown in table 1. The 1000Base-LX standard was developed to support longer-length multimode building fiber backbones and singlemode campus backbones. The 1000Base-LX standard supports multimode lengths of 550m and singlemode lengths of 3km.

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-LX Ethernet standard solution. Apart from transceivers, Cozlink also provides all kinds of patch cords, pigtails, high speed cables for your choice.
