Features:
- One LC duplex port carries 1000 Mbit/s multimode optical traffic.
- The 850 nm link is specified for cable runs up to 750 m.
- A latched SFP body receives power and data from the compatible host slot.
Siemens 6GK5992-1AL00-8AA0 changes a supported SCALANCE slot from its internal electrical interface to a full-duplex fiber path.
The transmitter and receiver limits define the usable optical budget together with cable attenuation and connector losses.
Because the module has no independent supply or enclosure, slot compatibility and host temperature remain part of the installation check.
The Siemens 6GK5992-1AL00-8AA0 SCALANCE SFP992-1 Gigabit Multimode Optical Transceiver may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Transmitter-to-Receiver Limits
- Launch range: Optical transmit power is specified from -9.5 to -2.5 dBm.
- Sensitivity: The receiver detects an input down to -17 dBm.
- Upper boundary: Received power must not exceed the -3 dBm maximum input.
- Link check: Fiber and connector losses must leave the received level inside that window.
LC Multimode Signal Path
- Connector: A duplex LC interface separates transmit and receive fibers.
- Medium: The module is assigned to multimode glass fiber rather than single-mode cable.
- Wavelength: Both optical directions use the 850 nm class.
- Distance: The documented maximum cable run is 750 m.
SFP and Host Relationship
- Insertion: The transceiver slides into a compatible SCALANCE SFP receptacle.
- Retention: The latch secures the module after full seating.
- Host services: The switch or media module supplies operating power and the Gigabit electrical interface.
- Removal boundary: Release the latch before withdrawing the module; do not pull on the fiber cable.
Optical Operation Across Temperature
- Operating span: The transceiver is specified from -40 to +85 °C.
- Storage span: The same -40 to +85 °C boundary applies during storage and transport.
- Humidity: Relative humidity may reach 95% only when condensation is absent.
- Enclosure level: The IP20 rating requires protection appropriate to the complete installed host.
