1000BaseSX or 1000Base-SX
1000BaseSX, also known as 1000Base-SX, is a specification for Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optic cabling as defined in IEEE 802.3z. SX stands for short wavelength and 1000Base-SX uses short wavelength laser (850nm) over multimode fiber as opposed to 1000Base-LX, which uses long wavelength laser over both multimode and single mode fiber. The maximum distance of (multimode) fiber based on 1000BaseSX is 550m.
