Questions & Answers
What is the GLC-ZX-SM-C transceiver?
The GLC-ZX-SM-C is a Cisco-compatible 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceiver with an LC duplex connector, designed for single-mode fiber links over extended distances.
Which devices are compatible with the GLC-ZX-SM-C?
This transceiver is fully interoperable with Cisco switches, routers, firewalls and third-party equipment supporting 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules.
What maximum distance does the GLC-ZX-SM-C support?
It supports single-mode fiber transmission up to 70 kilometers under standard conditions.
What wavelength does the GLC-ZX-SM-C operate at?
The module operates at a nominal wavelength of 1550 nm for optimal long-haul single-mode fiber performance.
What data rate does the GLC-ZX-SM-C support?
It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps, conforming to the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-ZX standard.
Is the GLC-ZX-SM-C hot-swappable?
Yes. The GLC-ZX-SM-C supports hot-swapping without disrupting network operation or requiring system power-down.
Does the GLC-ZX-SM-C support digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM)?
Yes. It offers DDM/DOM functions including real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, voltage and laser bias current.
What fiber type is required for the GLC-ZX-SM-C?
Use single-mode fiber (OS1/OS2) with an LC-LC duplex patch cable to achieve rated performance.
What temperature range can the GLC-ZX-SM-C operate in?
The module operates reliably between 0 °C to 70 °C (standard commercial range).
How do I install the GLC-ZX-SM-C in my switch or router?
Align the LC connector, insert the module into the SFP cage until it latches, then connect your LC duplex fiber cable to the module.
How do I verify the GLC-ZX-SM-C is functioning correctly?
Check link lights on your switch/router and query the DDM status via CLI commands such as 'show interfaces transceiver details' to confirm optical metrics.
What maintenance is required for the GLC-ZX-SM-C?
Keep LC connectors clean, avoid bending fiber beyond its minimum radius and periodically inspect for dust or damage.
What warranty covers the GLC-ZX-SM-C transceiver?
It includes a standard one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I use the GLC-ZX-SM-C in harsh environments?
For extended temperature or industrial applications, consider our industrial-grade SFP variants rated for –40 °C to 85 °C.
Does the GLC-ZX-SM-C support link aggregation?
Yes. When used in multiple ports, it supports IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation (LACP) for increased bandwidth and redundancy.
What should I do if my GLC-ZX-SM-C link is unstable?
Verify fiber cleanliness, ensure correct LC polarity, confirm distance and budget, and validate DDM readings for power or temperature anomalies.
