What This Solves
Extending Campus Network Backbones
Organizations with multiple buildings or a large campus require reliable, high-speed connections between their core network infrastructure. These SFP modules enable 1Gbps fiber links over distances up to 10km, ensuring seamless data transfer across the entire property.
Large campus networks, multi-building facilities, distributed corporate environments, educational institutions
Connecting Remote Data Closets
Many businesses operate with multiple intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) or server closets spread across different floors or areas. These transceivers provide the necessary fiber optic interface to connect these remote closets back to the main data center or MDF, maintaining high bandwidth.
Office buildings with multiple IDFs, retail chains with back-office server rooms, healthcare clinics with distributed network points
Enhancing Data Center Interconnects
Within data centers or co-location facilities, high-speed and reliable links between racks, servers, and storage arrays are paramount. These SFP modules provide the 1Gbps fiber connectivity needed for critical server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections, ensuring low latency and high throughput.
Data center operators, co-location facilities, enterprise infrastructure teams, virtualized server environments

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with these SFP modules?
These modules are primarily designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) with LC connectors, enabling long-distance transmissions up to 10 kilometers. While Icecat lists MMF supported, the "LH-SM" in the name indicates single-mode for long haul.
Can these SFP modules be used with non-Cisco networking equipment?
While specifically programmed and tested for Cisco compatibility, these modules adhere to industry-standard SFP specifications and may function with other brands of networking equipment that support 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP transceivers.
What is the wavelength used by these transceivers?
Each module operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, which is standard for 1000BASE-LX/LH fiber optic connections, ensuring optimal signal transmission over long distances.
Is Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) supported by these SFP modules?
No, these specific StarTech.com SFP modules do not support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM), meaning real-time monitoring of module parameters like temperature or optical power is not available.
