Siemens 6GK5992-1AL00-8AC0 is a SCALANCE X accessory plug-in transceiver (SFP992-1) designed to add a 1 Gbit/s optical uplink to compatible SCALANCE X network devices. It provides one 1000 Mbit/s LC multimode fibre port operating at 850 nm, offering a typical link distance of approximately 0.35 to 0.75 km depending on the fibre used. Supplied as a pack of 10 units, the module is latched for secure installation and features an IP20 housing with compact dimensions (14 mm x 9 mm x 57 mm). It is specified for demanding industrial environments with an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 °C and high humidity tolerance (up to 95% at 25 °C, non-condensing).
What is this product used for?
It is a plug-in SFP fibre optic transceiver for Siemens SCALANCE X equipment, used to add a 1 Gbit/s (1000BASE-SX) optical link via an LC connector. The Siemens reference is 6GK5992-1AL00-8AC0.
What network speed does it support?
It supports 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s) operation over fibre.
Which fibre type is required?
It is designed for multimode fibre (MMF) operation.
What connector type does it use?
It uses an LC optical interface (LC port).
What wavelength does it operate at?
It operates at 850 nm for multimode fibre links.
What is the maximum typical link distance?
Depending on the fibre used, the optical range is specified as approximately 0.35 to 0.75 km (up to 750 m).
What are the operating temperature limits?
The specified operating temperature range is -40 °C to +85 °C. A maximum operating temperature of +85 °C is permissible for a duration of 16 hours.
Is it suitable for high-humidity industrial environments?
Yes. It is specified for up to 95% relative humidity at 25 °C, non-condensing, during operation.
What is the ingress protection rating?
The module has an IP20 protection class, intended for installation within suitable industrial enclosures.
How is the module physically secured in the device?
It is a standard SFP form factor module with a latched fastening method for plug-in installation.
What are the approximate physical dimensions?
Approximate dimensions are 14 mm (W) × 9 mm (H) × 57 mm (D), with a net weight of about 0.01 kg.
What optical power levels are specified?
Specified levels include transmitter output from -9.5 dB to -2.5 dB (relative to 1 mW), receiver maximum input of -3 dB, and receiver sensitivity down to -17 dB (relative to 1 mW).
Does it have hazardous area approvals?
It includes hazardous area certifications such as FM (Class 1, Division 2 / Zone 2, T4) and ATEX marking (II 3 G Ex nA II T4), supporting use in appropriately classified environments when installed correctly.
Does it meet industrial EMC requirements?
Yes. It is specified against industrial EMC standards for emitted interference (EN 61000-6-4, Class A) and immunity (EN 61000-6-2), and it is CE marked.
How many units are supplied per pack?
The standard packing unit is 1 pack containing 10 transceivers.
- Adding a 1 Gbit/s multimode fibre uplink to compatible SCALANCE X industrial Ethernet switches via an LC optical port
- Creating longer-distance network links (typically up to 750 m, fibre-dependent) between control panels, MCC rooms and remote field enclosures where copper runs are impractical
- Improving network resilience in electrically noisy areas by converting copper-based Ethernet segments to optical fibre within plant infrastructure
- Interconnecting production cells, packaging lines and material-handling zones using multimode fibre backbone connections
- Linking process skids, substations or utilities areas to the main network over fibre while keeping a compact, plug-in form factor
- Upgrading existing SCALANCE X installations with a gigabit optical interface without replacing the host switch hardware
- Deploying fibre connections in harsh temperature environments where extended operating range components are required
- Standardising spare parts for sites that use LC multimode fibre for industrial network backbones and switch-to-switch connections
