TRENDnet TEG-MGBS10D5 1.25Gbps Bi-Directional Single-Mode LC SFP Transceiver 10km

The TRENDnet TEG-MGBS10D5 1.25Gbps Bi-Directional Single-Mode SFP Transceiver provides a reliable fiber connectivity solution for Gigabit Ethernet networking applications requiring transmission distances of up to 10km. Designed for compatible network switches and fiber converters, this compact optical module uses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to transmit and receive data over a single strand of single-mode fiber.

Operating with a 1550nm transmit wavelength and a 1310nm receive wavelength, the TEG-MGBS10D5 enables two-way communication through a single LC simplex fiber connection. This single-fiber design helps reduce fiber infrastructure requirements compared with conventional duplex fiber connections.

The transceiver supports data rates up to 1.25Gbps and complies with IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet and SFP Multi-Source Agreement standards. Its hot-pluggable design allows installation in compatible SFP slots, while its low-power electronics consume a maximum of 0.8W.

The TEG-MGBS10D5 must be paired with the TRENDnet TEG-MGBS10D3 or another compatible complementary transceiver. The complementary module uses the opposite transmit and receive wavelength configuration, allowing both ends of the fiber connection to communicate correctly.

With its compact metal enclosure and support for single-mode fiber transmission up to 10km, the TRENDnet TEG-MGBS10D5 is suitable for campus networks, enterprise infrastructure, fiber backbone connections, and point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet deployments.
