Description
The NX-SFP-LX20-1G 1000Base-LX20 SFP Transceiver is a high-performance optical transceiver engineered to provide reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity across long-distance singlemode fiber networks. Operating at a wavelength of 1310nm and supporting transmission distances of up to 20 kilometers, this transceiver is ideal for enterprise networks, campus environments, metropolitan area networks, telecommunications infrastructure, and data center interconnects. The 1000Base-LX20 SFP Transceiver enables organizations to extend network connectivity while maintaining excellent signal integrity and high-speed performance.
Built according to industry-standard Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specifications, the 1000Base-LX20 SFP Transceiver provides seamless interoperability with a wide range of networking devices, including switches, routers, media converters, network TAPs, packet brokers, and packet capture appliances. Its hot-swappable SFP form factor simplifies deployment and maintenance while reducing network downtime.
The NX-SFP-LX20-1G utilizes a duplex LC optical connector and is optimized for singlemode OS2 fiber applications. This makes the module an excellent choice for connecting remote offices, linking campus buildings, extending monitoring infrastructure, and supporting cybersecurity visibility solutions. Industry networking professionals commonly associate LX optics with singlemode fiber deployments operating at 1310nm wavelengths for extended-distance communication.
The 1000Base-LX20 SFP Transceiver is fully compatible with NEOX Networks PacketRaven Network TAPs, PacketFalcon Packet Capture Appliances, PacketLion Network Packet Brokers, and PacketTiger Network Packet Brokers. This compatibility allows organizations to build scalable network monitoring and packet analysis infrastructures while maintaining complete network visibility. NEOX transceivers are specifically designed for use across the NEOX product portfolio while remaining 100% MSA compatible with many third-party networking platforms.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support enables administrators to monitor key operational parameters and transceiver health when supported by the host device. Designed for continuous operation, the module supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, ensuring reliable performance in demanding enterprise and data center environments.
