Another great Cisco compatible SFP. We never have an issue with Fluxlight
Our go to for for Optical Transceivers. Great Service and Products!
We have been using the FluxLight GBICs for many years, and we continually have great success with these products. We not only save money by using the FluxLight products, but we know we can count on the products to work exactly the way they are expected to.
We have been using FluxLight GBICs for years. We are primarily a Cisco shop, and FluxLight GBICs have always worked great for us. The price is extremely reasonable and you get a quality product.
These devices perform identically to their Cisco counterpart. No hassle, no special configs... Just plug and play.
They work great for us!
I'm happy with our purchase of the GLC-BX-U. The SFP module meets 1000BASE-BX-U standards. We already had the -D taken care of and I didn't want to have to do a lot of fine-tuning to get it to work with our system. Fluxlight's GLC-BX-U fit the bill perfectly.
Tap into the possibilities of networking with the GLC-BX-U. This handy transceiver is highly compatible with different modules to suit your needs. You can get much faster speeds with this versus prior incarnations. It's a great upgrade for a business! You can't go wrong with the reliability and pricing at Fluxlight.
The GLC-BX-U has been a really reliable product for us thus far. It has a single port for single mode fiber, very simple but efficient. It has an LC connector that's snug and works quite well. Installing the device into the system wasn't hard, as the whole thing is pretty user-friendly if yo know what you're doing. A reliable part for any computer network.
Bidirectional and flexible, the GLC-BX-U is a device I use often in work. It's compatible with a lot of different networks and devices, thanks to its single mode optical connection. The LC optical interface is great, and it also works as a standard SFP transceiver. There's only a single connection, but other than that this is a really great product.
