GLC-SX-MMD Environmental Specs

What are the Humidity specs for the GLC-SX-MMD transceiver?

Cisco doesn't breask out that specification for the SFPs. However if you look at the switch it will be installed in, your can safely assume the compatible transceivers can also operate in that range.

 

For instance, the 2960-X hardware installation guide tells us the following:

 

Table 1 Environmental Specifications for All Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XRSwitches

Environmental Ranges

Operating temperature

1

23 to 113°F (–5 to 45°C) up to 5,000 ft (1500 m)


23 to 104°F (–5 to 40°C) up to 10,000 ft (3000 m)

Storage temperature

–40 to 158°F (–40 to 70°C) up to 15,000 ft (4500 m)

Relative humidity

10 to 95% (noncondensing)

Storage altitude

Up to 15,000 ft (4500 m)

1 Minimum ambient temperature for cold start is 32°F (0°C)

Even the ruggedized industrial use switches (like the IE 3010) designed for harsh environments have a similar range (5-95% in that case):
