PLANET MGB-TLA20 Fibre Optic Transceiver Module

The PLANET MGB-TLA20 is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1000BASE connections. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s and fits into SFP MSA-compliant ports, providing a compact solution for Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber. The module is hot-pluggable and compatible with devices that accept SFP mini-GBIC transceivers, enabling installation without interrupting host equipment operation.

Advantages

The MGB-TLA20 conforms to the SFP Multisource Agreement (MSA) and offers reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance in a small form factor. It supports long-distance links typical for single-mode fiber deployments and is suitable for use in PLANET switches with SFP interfaces. The transceiver is hot-pluggable for convenient field replacement and supports industrial-grade operation across a wide temperature range when used in the MGB-T series.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and network aggregation
• Long-distance single-mode fiber connections
• Installation in SFP-compatible switches and routers
• Enterprise and industrial networking equipment requiring SFP modules

Key specifications

• Model: PLANET MGB-TLA20 (MPN: MGB-TLA20)
• Interface type: SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (1000BASE)
• Form factor: SFP mini-GBIC, hot-pluggable
• Compatible media: single-mode fiber (typical for extended distances)

How to use

Insert the MGB-TLA20 into an SFP-compliant slot on a compatible switch, router or other networking device while the device is operating; the module supports hot-plug insertion. Connect the appropriate fiber optic cable (LC connector for single-mode) between the transceiver and the remote device. Verify link status on the host device and confirm the 1000BASE link speed. Follow the host device documentation for SFP port configuration if required.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber and LC connectors for long-distance links and ensure transceiver compatibility with the host device's SFP MSA implementation. For installations in harsh or wide-temperature environments, select MGB-T series transceivers rated for wide temperature operation (-40°C to 75°C) when such tolerance is required.
