Hi!
I am interested in technical information about the Cisco GLC-LH-SMD.
Tell me, please, does this module support two ranges of 100Mbps and 1.25Gbps?

Thank You

The GLC-LH-SMD is a 1 Gbps transceiver and the speed is fixed at 1 Gbps only.

If you want to know the spec that Cisco supports with GLC-LH-SMD, you should refer to the official data sheet.

Searching for “GLC-LH-SMD” in the TMG matrix shows that only 1Gbps is supported.

As Marvin notes, the GLC is an "effective" 1 gig transceiver. If you've seen 1.25 gig somewhere, I recall (?) that's the physical transmission rate, but .25 gig is consumed in overhead.

That's correct - the physical layer signaling of a 1 Gbps transceiver is 1.25 Gbps. However the encoding of Ethernet frames onto that results in a 1 Gbps data transmission rate.
