Figures from Cisco's official data sheet.

The Cisco GLC-EX-SMD in depth

40 km Gigabit over single-mode

The GLC-EX-SMD extends Gigabit Ethernet to 40 km on standard single-mode fibre, filling the gap between 10 km LX/LH and longer-reach ZX optics. It uses 1310 nm and a dual LC/PC connector.

Installation note

Because its transmitter is strong, Cisco requires a 5 dB inline optical attenuator between the fibre and the receiving port at each end when two modules are connected back to back. DOM support lets the switch report live optical levels.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the Cisco GLC-EX-SMD from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.
