What is the maximum transmission distance for the Cisco GLC-BX40-U-I transceiver?
The Cisco GLC-BX40-U-I supports 1000BASE-BX40 connectivity with a maximum transmission distance of 40 km over single-mode fiber (SMF). This makes it ideal for longer-distance metropolitan and campus network deployments where you need reliable gigabit connectivity without intermediate repeaters. We offer this transceiver as part of our comprehensive Cisco networking solutions.
Does the GLC-BX40-U-I support Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM)?
Yes, the Cisco GLC-BX40-U-I includes Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support, allowing real-time monitoring of optical signal strength, temperature, and transceiver health. This feature enables proactive network management and faster troubleshooting in your infrastructure. Contact us today to learn how DOM-enabled transceivers can improve your network visibility.
What type of fiber cable does the GLC-BX40-U-I require?
The Cisco GLC-BX40-U-I is designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) cable, which provides superior performance over longer distances compared to multimode fiber. Single-mode fiber's smaller core diameter allows for extended transmission ranges, making it the standard choice for 40 km links like those supported by this transceiver.

Is the GLC-BX40-U-I suitable for industrial environments?
Yes, the GLC-BX40-U-I is rated for industrial (IND) temperature range operation, making it suitable for harsh warehouse, manufacturing, and outdoor deployment scenarios. The industrial temperature rating ensures reliable performance in demanding environments where standard commercial-grade transceivers may not be sufficient. We stock industrial-grade transceivers for mission-critical applications.
How does the GLC-BX40-U-I compare to the earlier GLC-BX-U-I model?
The GLC-BX40-U-I extends transmission distance to 40 km, compared to the earlier GLC-BX-U-I which supports only 10 km over single-mode fiber. Both models include DOM support and industrial temperature ratings, but the GLC-BX40-U-I is the better choice for longer-distance network segments. Contact us today to determine which transceiver best fits your network topology.
What wavelength does the GLC-BX40-U-I operate at?
The Cisco GLC-BX40-U-I operates at 1490 nm wavelength, as indicated in the product designation. This wavelength is part of the 1000BASE-BX40 standard for bidirectional single-mode fiber transmission, allowing simultaneous upstream and downstream communication over a single fiber strand. Available from us for immediate deployment in your network infrastructure.
