I can confirm using LX SFP's for under 100' runs with no problems. Except for the one site that ordered Multi-Mode fiber... Andrew On 1/26/2012 12:27 AM, Aftab Siddiqui wrote:
Theoretically speaking Yes there should be an issue while using the LX SFP for short range because it may damage the receiver part. But we've been using it for quite a long time within datacenter for rack to rack switch connectivity without harming the SFP or the performance.

we are moving a router between 2 data centers and we only have LX sfp's for connection, is there any issue using LX sfp's in a short range deployment ?
A Cisco 1000BASE-LX optic has the following spec:

-3dBm maximum transmit power, -3dBm maximum receive. That means you can run it over any length. (We use LX for everything.)
