Fiberoptisk transceivermodul PLANET MGB-LX

The PLANET MGB-LX is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber. It supports a data rate up to 1000 Mbit/s and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, providing reliable long-distance communication for SFP MSA-compliant ports. The module is hot-pluggable and intended for easy integration into network equipment with SFP interfaces.

Advantages

The MGB-LX offers long-reach transmission over single-mode fiber, hot-pluggable SFP form factor for simple installation without powering down host equipment, and compatibility with SFP MSA ports. It supports standard 1000BASE-LX operation and is suitable for industrial deployments when used with the PLANET MGB-T wide-temperature series.

Suitable for

• Extending Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber
• Installation in switches, routers, or media converters with SFP ports
• Long-distance backbone or campus connections

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Standard: 1000BASE-LX

How to use

Insert the MGB-LX transceiver into an SFP-compatible port until it clicks into place. Connect a single-mode LC optical fiber cable to the module. Ensure the connected equipment is configured for 1000 Mbps operation and the correct fiber polarity. The module is hot-pluggable and may be installed or removed without shutting down the host device, following your equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate LC connectors and verify link budgets for distances up to the supported range. For deployments in extreme temperature environments, consider the MGB-T series wide-temperature variants. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling the transceiver.
