PLANET MGB-GT SFP Transceiver Module

The PLANET MGB-GT is an SFP transceiver module designed for high-performance integrated duplex data links over single-mode optical fiber. Compliant with the SFP Multisource Agreement (MSA) and hot-pluggable, the MGB-GT provides a compact solution for inserting into SFP MSA–compatible ports without interrupting host equipment operation. It supports a data rate of 1000 Mbit/s and is suitable for short-range connections up to 100 meters.

Advantages

The MGB-GT offers straightforward installation thanks to its SFP form factor and hot-pluggable design. It is MSA-compliant, ensuring broad compatibility with devices that have SFP ports. The module’s compact size and 1000BASE capability make it suitable for upgrading or extending Gigabit Ethernet links in environments that require reliable short-distance fiber connectivity.

Suitable for

• Short-range Gigabit Ethernet fiber links (up to 100 m)
• SFP MSA–compatible switches and routers
• Network upgrades where a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver is required

How to use

Power off the host device or follow the manufacturer’s hot-swap procedure, then insert the MGB-GT into an available SFP slot until it seats firmly. Connect the appropriate single-mode fiber patch cable to the module’s optical interface and observe link/activity indicators on the host device to confirm a successful connection. Configure network settings on the host equipment if required by the network design.

Recommendations

Install the MGB-GT in SFP MSA–compatible ports only, use quality fiber patch cables and connectors, and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling. For distances beyond 100 meters, select an appropriate SFP transceiver that supports longer reach.
