MGBBX1

The MGBBX1 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module commonly used in Cisco networking equipment. Here's a breakdown of its key features and functionalities:

Type: SFP Transceiver Module

Applications:

• Connecting network devices: The MGBBX1 is primarily used to establish 1000BASE-BX Ethernet connections between network devices, such as switches, routers, and servers, over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables.
• Long-distance data transmission: SMF cables are suitable for long-distance data transmission due to their low signal loss compared to other types of fiber optic cables. The MGBBX1, in conjunction with SMF, enables high-bandwidth and reliable data transmission over extended distances, typically up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) or 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) depending on the specific model variation.

Features:

• Wavelengths: The MGBBX1 uses two different wavelengths for transmitting and receiving data:
  • Transmit (Tx): 1310 nanometers (nm)
  • Receive (Rx): 1490 nm
• Bidirectional: This means the same fiber optic cable can be used for both transmitting and receiving data, simplifying cable management and reducing infrastructure complexity.
• Hot-swappable: The MGBBX1 module can be inserted and removed from compatible network devices while they are powered on, allowing for easy maintenance and upgrades without network downtime.
• Standards compliance: The MGBBX1 typically complies with various industry standards, including:
  • 1000BASE-BX standard: Defines the technical specifications for 1 Gigabit Ethernet data transmission over single-mode fiber optic cables.
  • Multi-Source Agreement (MSA): Ensures interoperability between SFP transceivers from different vendors.
