Cisco MGBLX1 SFP Transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet Switches

The Cisco MGBLX1 is a small form factor pluggable transceiver that lets you add dependable fiber connectivity to compatible Cisco switches without taking the network offline. Designed for the Cisco 100, 200, 300, and 500 Series, it slides into an open SFP slot and begins working the moment it locks in place.

This module supports the 1000BASE-LX standard, operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, and works with single-mode fiber runs from 100 meters up to 10 kilometers. That range makes it useful for links between wiring closets on a large campus, connections to a disaster-recovery site across town, or any situation where copper cabling falls short.

Installation is straightforward. Because the MGBLX1 can be hot swapped, you can replace or add it during normal business hours without scheduling downtime. The transceiver’s low power draw helps keep switch temperatures stable and contributes to long-term reliability.

Network administrators in small businesses, branch offices, schools, and managed service environments will appreciate the balance of Cisco build quality, simple plug-and-play setup, and the included 5-year warranty with one year of technical support.
