Module SFP fibre optique Trendnet TI-MGBSX

The Trendnet TI-MGBSX is a 1000Base-SX industrial SFP multi-mode LC transceiver module designed for use in industrial networking equipment. It supports gigabit multi-mode fiber connections via a duplex LC connector, operates at an 850 nm wavelength and provides link distances up to 550 m (1804 ft). The compact metal housing and MSA-compliant form factor allow installation in standard SFP ports on industrial switches and fiber converters while offering low power consumption (1 W) suitable for constrained environments.

Advantages

The TI-MGBSX offers a metal housing for enhanced durability, an industry-standard SFP form factor for broad compatibility, and support for gigabit speeds on multi-mode fiber up to 550 m. Its 850 nm optical wavelength and duplex LC connector ensure compatibility with common multi-mode fiber cabling, while the low power draw (1 W) and MSA certification simplify deployment and maintenance in industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet switches and media converters with SFP slots
• Short- to mid-range fiber links within facilities, campuses, and industrial sites (up to 550 m)
• Upgrading copper ports to fiber for gigabit connectivity in multi-mode networks

How to use

Insert the TI-MGBSX module into a compatible SFP slot on an industrial switch or media converter until it seats securely. Connect multi-mode fiber patch cords with a duplex LC connector to the module ports, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Power the host device and verify link/activity LEDs or the management interface to confirm the optical link. For best performance, use appropriate multi-mode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3 as supported by your network design) and maintain clean connector endfaces.

Recommendations

Use the TI-MGBSX in indoor industrial environments and within its specified optical budget and distance limits. Clean fiber connectors before mating, avoid bending fiber beyond manufacturer bend radius, and use compatible SFP hosts to ensure correct operation. Replace the module if physical damage or persistent link faults occur.
