Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The Duplex LC interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100M interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

The multimode channel should use the fiber grade associated with the stated 2km reach. Keep the Duplex LC end faces clean and avoid tight bends. Different multimode standards are not interchangeable merely because they share a connector.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -15~-8dBm; receiver sensitivity is < -32dBm. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Data-Center Optical Design and Airflow

Select the module by optical standard, reach and rack layout. Check the complete fiber channel, including panels and connectors, and keep dense bundles from blocking front-panel airflow. Account for listed power consumption and preserve enough space to remove a module without disturbing adjacent links. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 100Mbps, wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 2km.

Ordering Information

Quote HT part number MGBIC-LC04 together with OEM reference MGBIC-LC04 and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Extreme Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility testing for MGBIC-LC04 combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
