OEMfibers 1000BASE-SX SFP Multimode VS. 1000BASE-LX SFP Single-mode
Standard SX stands for short wavelength. The typical specifies a distance capability between 220 meters and 550 meters. The “LX” in 1000BASE-LX means lengthy wavelength, indicating that version of Gigabit Ethernet is supposed for make use of with long-wavelength transmissions (1270 - 1355nm) over long cable runs of fiber optic cabling. Juniper EX-SFP-1GE-LX can stepped on both single mode fiber and multimode fiber with a distance as high as 10 km and 550 m, respectively. Types of Optical Fibers 1000BASE-LX single-mode SFP module will work with single-mode fiber to be able to perform both transmission and reception of data. Whereas 1000BASE-SX multimode SFP transceiver will continue to work with multimode fiber, that includes a thicker core and allows higher speed at shorter distance. Transmission Distance 1000BASE-LX single-mode SFP transceivers are mostly found in long distances (up to 10 km) transmission environment. 1000BASE-SX SFP multimode is only used for sho...
