Cisco GLC-GE-100FX= 100BASE-FX SFP Transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet Ports 1300 nm Dual LC Multimode up to 2 km
Cisco GLC-GE-100FX= — 100FX SFP for Gigabit Ports
The Cisco GLC-GE-100FX= is a 100BASE-FX SFP module designed to run in the Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports of Cisco switches and routers, carrying 100 Mbps over multimode fibre up to 2 km at 1300 nm. It lets a modern Gigabit switch connect to older 100 Mbps fibre equipment, such as legacy switches, industrial controllers or building systems. In practice, multimode optics are the cheaper choice for links inside one building: most server rooms and floor risers already carry OM3 or OM4 fibre, and the module plus a short LC patch cord is all a port needs. Before you order, check the fibre grade printed on the cable jacket and the real length of the run, including patch panels.
