SFP transceiver modul PLANET MGB-2GTLB20 optické vlákno LC strieborný

The PLANET MGB-2GTLB20 is a 2.5G SFP fiber-optic transceiver with an LC (UPC) connector, designed to deliver 2.5Gbps Ethernet links over multimode or single-mode fiber. Compliant with the SFP Multisource Agreement (MSA), this hot-pluggable module extends network reach from 300 meters on multimode fiber to up to 20,000 meters (20 km) on single-mode fiber while maintaining compatibility with PLANET devices that provide a 2.5G SFP interface.

Advantages

The MGB-2GTLB20 supports hot insertion and MSA compliance for easy installation into SFP ports without interrupting host equipment. It offers flexible deployment distances, an industry-standard LC connector (UPC), and a compact SFP form factor. The silver housing provides a durable finish and straightforward identification in rack installations. A wide-temperature version of the module (MGB-2GT) is available for reliable operation in industrial environments from -40°C to 75°C.

Suitable for

• Enterprise and campus backbone links requiring 2.5Gbps connectivity
• Service provider and ISP fiber connections
• Fiber uplinks between switches and media converters
• Long-distance single-mode fiber links up to 20 km

Key specifications

• Data rate: 2.5Gbps (2500BASE-X)
• Connector type: LC (UPC)
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 20,000 m (single-mode)
• Form factor: SFP (MSA compliant, hot-pluggable)
• Color/finish: Silver
• Compatible with: PLANET devices with 2.5G SFP interface

How to use

Insert the MGB-2GTLB20 module into any MSA-compliant SFP port on compatible PLANET switches or media converters until it seats securely. Connect an LC fiber patch cable (ensure correct single-mode or multimode type for the intended distance) and verify the link and activity LEDs on the host device. The transceiver is hot-pluggable and can be installed or removed without powering down the host equipment.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC (UPC) fiber for links approaching the 20 km maximum distance and multimode fiber for short-reach connections around 300 m. Verify fiber type, attenuation, and connector cleanliness to ensure optimal performance. For industrial deployments in extreme temperatures, choose the wide-temperature MGB-2GT variant rated for -40°C to 75°C.
