Brocade E1MG-LX-A8 Compatible 1000BASE-LX SFP

EdgeOptic's E1MG-LX-A8 compatible is a Brocade-coded version of the EdgeOptic 1.25G-SFP-20D multi-vendor 1000BASE-LX 20 km transceiver. The OEM E1MG-LX-A8 is the Brocade/Ruckus ordering code for the 1000BASE-LX SFP shipped in a bulk pack of eight individual transceivers, rated at 10 km reach across multiple independent OEM-channel listings. The EdgeOptic compatible is sold as an individual unit and covers the full 20 km reach class of the underlying 1.25G-SFP-20D, so it qualifies for both single-replacement scenarios and 8-port Brocade/Ruckus ICX switch builds without 8-pack ordering constraints.

Optically the module follows IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX on 9/125 µm single-mode fiber via duplex LC connectors at 1310 nm, with a 1260 to 1360 nm wavelength band. Transmit power is −9 to −3 dBm and receiver sensitivity is −24 dBm with a −3 dBm overload limit, giving 15 dB of link budget that extends practical reach to 20 km on standard G.652 fiber. The transceiver runs Gigabit Ethernet at 1.25 Gbps, draws power from a +3.3 V single supply, and exposes DDM/DOM telemetry so Brocade/Ruckus switch firmware can read live TX power, RX power, bias current, supply voltage, and module temperature.

The E1MG-LX-A8 ordering code is the bulk-pack form of the 1G LX SFP that sits in Brocade/Ruckus ICX switching, with siblings E1MG-TX-A8 (copper), E1MG-SX-A8 (multimode SX), and E1MG-100FX-A8 (100FX) following the same packaging convention. Engineers replacing a unit pulled from a deployed 8-pack frequently need only one or two transceivers, not another full pack, so the individual-unit form factor matches the real refresh and spares-stocking pattern on Brocade/Ruckus ICX 7000-series switching platforms that accept this SFP. Both Brocade and Ruckus brand names remain in active use for this ICX switch family.

This E1MG-LX-A8 compatible is one EEPROM build of the EdgeOptic 1.25G-SFP-20D platform, a single 1000BASE-LX 1310 nm 20 km SMF transceiver that ships under multiple vendor codings. The hardware is INF-8074i SFP MSA compliant, hot-pluggable, CE marked, RoHS compliant, and Class 1 laser safe per IEC 60825-1 and FDA 21 CFR 1040, so the EdgeOptic catalog covers the same optical build under Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE, Hirschmann, PLANET, Check Point, and other vendor ordering codes for 1000BASE-LX 20 km SMF.
