SFP-1GZXLC-BCC | Moxa Compatible 1GB Single-Mode ZR - 70km (1000BASE-ZX)

Q: Will this work in place of the Moxa SFP-1GZXLC?
A: Yes. This module is electrically and optically identical to the SFP-1GZXLC, providing the same 1000BASE-ZX functionality at 1550nm over single-mode fibre in an SFP form factor. It is plug-and-play compatible with any Moxa Gigabit Ethernet switch or router that accepts the original module, with no configuration or firmware changes required.

Q: Which Moxa platforms support this transceiver?
A: This module works in any Moxa switch, router, or interface module with a Gigabit SFP slot that supports 1000BASE-ZX optics. This includes the ICS-G7000, ICS-G7800, EDS-500A, EDS-G500, IKS-G6500, and IM-G7000 series, among others. The determining factor is the SFP slot specification, not the specific model number.

Q: What fibre type and link budget does this module require for 70km reach?
A: This module requires OS1 or OS2 single-mode fibre with 9/125µm core diameter. Achieving the full 70km distance depends on total link loss staying within the module's power budget. You must account for fibre attenuation (typically 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm), connector insertion loss, splice loss, and any patch panel losses when calculating end-to-end feasibility.

Q: Can I use this on short fibre runs, or will it damage the receiver?
A: ZX optics are designed for long distance and emit higher transmit power than short-reach modules. On links shorter than 10km, the receiver may experience overload. Best practice is to insert an LC fibre attenuator of 5 dB or greater on short spans to prevent saturation and bit errors. Always verify received power levels using the DDM function.

Q: Does this module support Fibre Channel in addition to Gigabit Ethernet?
A: Yes. This transceiver complies with both IEEE 802.3z for Gigabit Ethernet and 1G Fibre Channel physical layer requirements. The same optical and electrical specifications apply in either application, making it suitable for storage area networks or converged network environments where both protocols are present on the same infrastructure.
