Chapter 2 NSE-150 Overview
Gigabit Ethernet SFP Port and Cabling Specifications
The NSE-150 supports the following 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules:
Note that a mode conditioning patch cord is often used with 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules to ensure
reliable transmission. For information on mode conditioning patch cords, see the
“Mode-Conditioning
Patch Cord Description” section on page 1-11
.
For more detailed information on the 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules, see the
Cisco SFP Optics For
Gigabit Ethernet Applications Data Sheet
.
Optical Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-ZX SFP Modules
The 1000BASE-ZX SFP module operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to
approximately 70 km in length. The SFP provides an optical link budget of 23 dB, but the precise link
span length depends on multiple factors such as fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors.
The NSE-150 supports the following 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules:

Cisco SFP Optics For
Gigabit Ethernet Applications Data Sheet
.
Optical Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-BX SFP Modules
The 1000BASE-BX-D and 1000BASE-BX-U SFP modules, compatible with the IEEE 802.3ah
1000BASE-BX10-D and 1000BASE-BX10-U standards, operate on a single strand of standard
single-mode fiber.
A 1000BASE-BX10-D device is always connected to a 1000BASE-BX10-U device with a single strand
of standard single-mode fiber with an operating transmission range up to 10 km.
