SFP (small form pluggable) transceiver, also called Mini-GBIC by the vendors, is one of the key components required for telecom and data communication applications. There are many companies supplying SFP transceiver like Cisco, Finisar, 3com, HP, NETGEAR, etc. You can find all compatible SFP transceivers in Fiberstore with competitive price and great performance. 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP, one of the commonly used optical transceivers, is now very popular in the optical network system. The following text is going to illustrate something you may feel curious about 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP (GLC-LX-SM-RGD and Finisar FTLF1318P2BTL). From the article, we might have a deeper understanding of using these transceiver modules.
What Is GLC-LX-SM-RGD?
GLC-LX-SM-RGD is Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP transceiver module. GLC-LX-SM-RGD, compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard, operates on standard single mode fiber optic link lengths of up to 10 km and up to 550 m on any multimode fibers. When used over legacy multimode fiber type, the transmitter should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cable (MCP). The GLC LX SM RGD transceiver module combines quality with low cost and makes it an ideal alternative except for the high-price transceivers. Fiberstore GLC LX SM RGD is compatible with all Cisco series switches and modules which support SFP transceivers. The following picture shows a GLC-LX-SM-RGD.

What About Mode Conditioning Patch Cable?
When selecting an optical transceiver, watch the transceiver’s user documentation for when a MCP should be utilized. They are sometimes required when your network’s installed optical cable is OM1 or OM2 rated multimode fiber. In short, the MCP is used to adapt the single mode output of Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-LX) transceivers to a multimode cable network.

Overview of Finisar FTLF1318P2BTL
Finisar FTLF1318P3BTL SFP transceiver is compatible with the SFP Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA). It is a duplex SFP transceiver for optical communications, rated for distances up to 10km and a maximum bandwidth of 1.25Gbps. The FTLF1318P2BTL transceiver operates at 1310nm wavelength. Finisar FTLF1318P2BTL simultaneously comply with 1000BASE-LX/LH as specified in IEEE Std 802.3 and 1x Fibre Channel as defined in FC-PI-2 Rev. 8.00. They are RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant and lead-free per directive 2011/65/EU and Finisar Appl. Note AN-2038. Digital diagnostics functions are available via the 2-wire serial bus specified in the SFP MSA. A Finisar FTLF1318P2BTL is shown below.

What Is the Difference Between LH and LX Modules?
LH stands for Long Haul that means longer distances, while LX(long wavelength) denotes less energy which is obviously shorter distance. Before it was standardized, 1000BASE-LX10 was essentially already in widespread use by many vendors as a proprietary extension called either 1000BASE-LX/LH or 1000BASE-LH.

Does 1000BASE-LX SFP Work With 1000BASE-LH SFP?
Yes, 1000BASE-LX can work with the 1000BASE-LH. For example, Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP is either made for single mode (long distance) or multimode (short distance). But this module can be used for both single mode and multimode.
