This module supports 5 V 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX GBIC transceivers:

1000BASE-SX GBIC transceivers provide one short-wavelength (850 nm) Gigabit port that can be used for a high-speed backbone or server connection. This port can be connected to a site up to 220 m (722 ft) away with 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber cable, or up to 500 m (1641 ft) with 50/125 micron multimode fiber cable.

1000BASE-LX GBIC transceivers provide one long-wavelength (1300 nm) Gigabit port that can be used for a high-speed backbone or server
