Figure 1-7. Single-Port 1000BASE-X GBIC Module
This module supports 5 V 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX GBIC
transceivers:
1000BASE-SX GBIC transceivers provide one short-wavelength (850 nm)
Gigabit port that can be used for a high-speed backbone or server
connection. This port can be connected to a site up to 220 m (722 ft) away
with 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber cable, or up to 500 m (1641 ft) with
50/125 micron multimode fiber cable.
1000BASE-LX GBIC transceivers provide one long-wavelength (1300 nm)
Gigabit port that can be used for a high-speed backbone or server
connection. This port can be connected to a site up to 5 km (16404 ft)
away with single-mode fiber cable.
1000BASE-ZX GBIC transceivers provide one long-wavelength
(1550 nm) Gigabit port that can be used for a long-haul connection to a
remote location. This port can be connected to a site up to 100 km
(62.1 miles) away with single-mode fiber cable.
Caution: Install only 5 V GBIC transceivers into the module slots.
