Cisco Compatible GLC-EX-SMD / GLC-LH-SM-40 SFP Transceiver | 1GBASE-EX, LC Duplex, SMF (40km)

Product Overview

The Cisco Compatible GLC-EX-SMD and GLC-LH-SM-40 SFP Transceivers are high-performance 1Gbps single-mode optical modules designed for extended-distance transmission up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF). Operating at a 1310nm wavelength, these modules are ideal for long-range enterprise networks, metro access, and telecom infrastructure.
The GLC-EX-SMD model includes Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM/DDM) functionality for real-time diagnostics, while GLC-LH-SM-40 serves as a cost-effective extended-reach LX/LH alternative without monitoring.
Both modules are fully compatible with Cisco platforms and provide reliable, long-distance connectivity at a competitive cost.
