Switch uplinks
Connect floor access switches to the core switch over multimode fiber at 1GbE.
Short-reach Gigabit fiber optics for switch uplinks inside buildings.
The Dell 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver provides Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber at 850nm with a duplex LC connector. It is the standard optic for 1G fiber uplinks between access and core switches inside a building or data center, and works with Dell switches and network adapters with SFP ports. Forte Tech sells it in Egypt for 10,700 EGP.
For Gigabit fiber links between switches on different floors or racks.
Connect floor access switches to the core switch over multimode fiber at 1GbE.
Fiber avoids the 100-meter copper limit and electrical interference between floors and rooms.
Connect older servers, storage and appliances with 1G SFP fiber ports.
1000BASE-SX optics use an 850nm laser over multimode fiber with duplex LC connectors. Typical reach is up to about 550 meters on OM2 or better fiber, and shorter on older OM1 fiber.
Use matching SX optics on both ends of the link. Dell-coded optics are designed for Dell switches and adapters. For 10GbE links, see the Dell SFP+ 10GbE LR.
