Stratos Lightwave GBIC Fiber 1000BASE-SX

The Stratos MGBC-20-4-1-S is a GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) fiber transceiver designed for 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet applications. This hot-pluggable module facilitates high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber optic cables, making it an essential component for various networking environments. It is typically deployed in data centers, enterprise networks, and campus backbones to connect switches, routers, and other network devices over relatively short distances, providing robust and efficient data links. Operating at a nominal wavelength of 850nm, the 1000BASE-SX standard supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds of 1 Gbps. When used with 50/125µm multimode fiber, it can achieve link distances of up to 550 meters, while with 62.5/125µm fiber, it supports distances up to 275 meters. GBIC transceivers, often featuring an SC connector interface, were foundational for early Gigabit Ethernet deployments, offering flexibility and ease of maintenance through their hot-swappable design. Revo Distribution Limited carries high-quality used and refurbished Stratos GBIC Fiber 1000BASE-SX transceivers to support our B2B clients in maintaining and upgrading their existing telecom and data center infrastructure. These modules provide a cost-effective solution for extending the life of legacy equipment or for specific network requirements where new hardware might be over-specified or unavailable. Our commitment is to supply reliable, tested components that ensure continued operational efficiency and connectivity for your critical network systems.
