Crestron SFP-1G-SX – SFP 1000BASE-SX Fiber Transceiver, 850nm Multimode

Product Overview

The Crestron SFP-1G-SX is a 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceiver operating at 850nm wavelength for multimode fiber connections. Designed for Crestron devices with SFP ports — including DM NVX AV-over-IP switches and infrastructure equipment — it enables Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber cable runs in commercial AV installations where fiber is used for longer inter-switch distances, electrical isolation, or EMI immunity in building infrastructure. Supports distances up to 550 meters over OM2 multimode fiber with LC duplex connectors.

Product Description

Commercial AV-over-IP deployments — particularly DM NVX systems spanning multiple floors or buildings — sometimes require fiber optic uplinks between network switches to cover distances beyond Gigabit copper (100m maximum) or to provide electrical isolation between buildings on the same campus. The SFP-1G-SX installs in the SFP port of compatible Crestron or commercial Gigabit switches, enabling multimode fiber uplinks at up to 550 meters over OM2 or at lesser distances over OM1. The 850nm wavelength and 1000BASE-SX protocol are the standard specification for short-to-medium multimode fiber runs in commercial building infrastructure — the same fiber plant used for standard IT data networking in most commercial buildings, enabling AV-over-IP fiber runs to share existing fiber infrastructure with IT uplinks without installing a separate fiber plant.

Key Features

• 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Multimode Fiber: Standard SFP transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber — extends Gigabit switching beyond 100m copper Ethernet distances for multi-floor and inter-building AV-over-IP deployments.
• 850nm Wavelength, LC Duplex: Standard 850nm multimode wavelength with LC duplex fiber connectors — compatible with existing OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode fiber infrastructure in commercial buildings.
• Up to 550m on OM2 Fiber: Supports Gigabit links up to 550 meters on OM2 fiber — covers multi-floor and moderate inter-building distances in commercial campus AV deployments.
• Electrical Isolation: Fiber optic connection provides complete electrical isolation between switches — essential for inter-building connections where ground loop or lightning strike protection is required.
• Crestron Compatible: Specified for use in Crestron devices with SFP ports; contact Creation Networks to confirm compatibility with specific Crestron equipment SFP port specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Crestron devices accept the SFP-1G-SX?
The SFP-1G-SX is designed for Crestron devices with standard SFP module ports. Contact Creation Networks to confirm compatibility with specific Crestron equipment SFP port specifications before ordering.

What is the difference between SFP-1G-SX and SFP-1G-LX?
The SFP-1G-SX uses 850nm for shorter multimode fiber runs (up to 550m on OM2). The SFP-1G-LX uses 1310nm for longer singlemode fiber runs (up to 10km). Select based on your fiber type and required distance. Contact Creation Networks for fiber transceiver selection guidance.

What is the warranty?
Crestron provides a standard warranty on SFP transceivers. Contact Creation Networks for warranty details.
