we are moving a router between 2 data centers and we only have LX sfp's for connection, is there any issue using LX 
sfp's in a short range deployment ?

A Cisco 1000BASE-LX optic has the following spec:

-3dBm maximum transmit power, -3dBm maximum receive. That means you
can run it over any length. (We use LX for everything.)
