Crestron part number SFP-1G-SX
The Crestron SFP-1G-SX is a 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver that connects a DM NVX series encoder or decoder to the network over multimode fibre. It works over duplex multimode fibre at 850 nm with a dual LC connector, and its reach depends on the fibre grade, up to 550 m (1800 ft).

About the Crestron SFP-1G-SX
Crestron's SFP-1G modules add 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet fibre connections to DigitalMedia NVX network AV encoder/decoder boxes and cards. The SFP-1G-SX is the multimode option, following 802.3z 1000BASE-SX, and uses two fibres on a dual LC connector. Crestron's module table lists its colour as black, and the modules are hot-swappable to minimise downtime.
Distance depends on the fibre. With 62.5 µm fibre it reaches 220 m (720 ft) at 160 MHz km and 275 m (900 ft) at 200 MHz km (OM1). With 50 µm fibre it reaches 500 m (1640 ft) at 400 MHz km and 550 m (1800 ft) at 500 MHz km or greater, which covers OM2 and above. Crestron strongly recommends OM3 or greater multimode fibre for new installations.
When replacing a module, check the fibre already in place and match the part number on the old module. The SFP-1G-SX is for multimode fibre, while the SFP-1G-LX, SFP-1G-BX-U and SFP-1G-BX-D are single-mode modules with a listed reach of 10 km (6.2 mi), so choose the module that matches the fibre type.

Questions about the Crestron SFP-1G-SX
What is the Crestron SFP-1G-SX?
It is an SFP transceiver module that adds fibre optic network connectivity to a DM NVX series encoder/decoder. It is the 1000BASE-SX version for duplex multimode fibre at 850 nm, with a dual LC connector, and it supports 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet.
How far can the SFP-1G-SX reach?
It depends on the fibre. Crestron lists 220 m (720 ft) on 62.5 µm fibre at 160 MHz km, 275 m (900 ft) on OM1, 500 m (1640 ft) on 50 µm fibre at 400 MHz km, and 550 m (1800 ft) on OM2 or greater.
What fibre does Crestron recommend for the SFP-1G-SX?
Crestron strongly recommends OM3 or greater multimode fibre for new cable runs. The SFP-1G-SX also works over older 62.5 µm and 50 µm multimode fibre at the distances in its table, from 220 m (720 ft) up to 550 m (1800 ft).
Can the SFP-1G-SX be used on single-mode fibre?
Crestron lists it for multimode fibre (MMF). For single-mode fibre, the listed modules are the SFP-1G-LX (duplex, 1310 nm, dual LC) and the SFP-1G-BX-U and SFP-1G-BX-D pair (simplex, single LC), each rated at 10 km (6.2 mi).
Is the SFP-1G-SX hot-swappable?
Yes. The SFP-1G modules are hot-swappable to minimise downtime. Crestron's table lists the SFP-1G-SX in black, which sets it apart from the SFP-1G-LX and SFP-1G-BX-U, listed in blue, and the SFP-1G-BX-D, listed in purple.
How much is the Crestron SFP-1G-SX?
Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the SFP-1G-SX directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.
Can 1Install supply, install and programme the SFP-1G-SX?
Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the SFP-1G-SX on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.
Does the SFP-1G-SX come with a warranty?
Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the SFP-1G-SX develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.
Is the SFP-1G-SX in stock?
We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.
Can I buy the SFP-1G-SX without installation?
Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. If you are not sure it suits your system, send us the part numbers you already have and we will check.
