1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet over Fiber Standard
Brand: IEEE Standard · SKU: 1000BASE-LX · MPN: N/A · Category: Components
1000BASE-LX is a standard for implementing Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) over fiber optic cabling, defined by IEEE 802.3 Clause 38. The 'LX' stands for Long Wavelength, indicating transmission at 1310nm, which is optimized for Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) over long distances. It supports full-duplex operation and preserves the standard Ethernet frame format. While typically associated with SMF for up to 10km, it can sometimes work over Multimode Fiber (MMF) up to 550m with the use of a Mode Conditioning Patch Cord (MCP).
