Extend Fast Ethernet with Cisco GLC-GE-100FX SFP
The Cisco GLC-GE-100FX is the trusted solution for extending Fast Ethernet connectivity across legacy multimode fiber (MMF) networks. Operating at 1300 nm over 50/62.5 μm MMF, it delivers 100 Mbps up to 2 km without the need to upgrade cabling. DOM functionality enables basic diagnostics, and the hot-swappable design simplifies maintenance. Fully IEEE 802.3u and SFP-MSA compliant, it fits seamlessly into Cisco Catalyst and Industrial Ethernet platforms — ideal for access switches, plant-floor controllers, and cost-sensitive campus edge segments.
Technical Features
- Speed: 100 Mb/s (100BASE-FX)
- Reach: 2 km over 50/62.5 μm multimode fiber
- Optics: 1300 nm LED/laser, LC duplex
- Diagnostics: DOM to verify
- Hot-Swappable: Insert/remove without downtime
- Operating Temp: 0 °C → 70 °C (commercial)
- Compliance: IEEE 802.3u, SFP-MSA, Class 1 laser
-
Ideal For: Legacy MMF fiber rings, utility access switches, campus segments needing Fast Ethernet over MMF
