There are so many types of fiber optic transceivers, just GBIC transceiver can be made by Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei, etc. Well ,the origial Cisco GBIC module is not cheap, then choose a Cisco Compatible GBIC transceiver is a good ideal.

In fact, most of the networking manufacturers including Cisco, HP networking and Juiper do not produce their own SFP, GBIC, XFP, SFP+, XENPAK and X2 transceivers. They buy original equipment manufacturers (OEM) transceivers, labeled with their own brand and sell at a much higher price. You are basically paying a higher price to have the respective manufacturers logo on the equipment. So buying a compatible fiber optic transceiver is a cost-effective option.

FiberStore offers you a compatible transceiver solution at a fraction of the original cost and a 3-year warranty. These products are manufactured per precise OEM specifications and with high quality. FiberStore's compatible SFP series optical transceivers are designed to install in SFP port of network switches, network router and other network equipments. The Compatible 1000BASE-ZX Cisco glc-zx-sm single-mode SFP transceiver module is a high performance and cost effective fiber optic transceiver. The optical transceivers are designed for serial-optical data communications, bi-directional such as Gigabit Ethernet or Data Storage Networks.

FiberStore’s Cisco-compatible SFP, SFP+ (or SFP plus), XFP, X2, XENPAK, QSFP+ and CFP transceivers are a series of Telecom class, high performance and cost effective, which supports both duplex and simplex LC or SC optics interfaces with 155Mb, 1.25Gb to 40Gb data rates, and RJ45 copper interface with 10/100/1000 Mbps or 1000 Mbps Ethernet data rates. Standard AC coupled CML for high speed signal and LVTTL control and monitor signals. The receiver section of Cisco 10G SFP uses a PIN receiver and the transmitter uses the most of common FP or DFB lasers, which allow up to 1.25Gbps rates over 500M ~ 120Km Ethernet applications. The SFP+ and XFP consist of 10Gbit/s DFB/ EML optical transmitter and PIN receiver, which allow 300m ~ 80Km 10G Ethernet and 10G fiber channel applications. The modules have been used by Telecom SPs, MSOs, Utility Telecom, and enterprise/campus networks for multiple years with extremely low return and supper reputation in reliability.

With plenty experience in interoperability with 3rd party standard based network equipment such as Alcatel-Lucent, Allied Telesis, AVAYA, Brocade, Cisco, 3com, etc. FiberStore’s fiber optic transceivers are able to fulfill enterprises, service providers, telecom operators and SAN providers to build and fulfill their existing and future network expansions.
