Ready-to-deploy 100 Mbps SFP transceiver

This Brute Networks GLC-FE-100FX module delivers 100BASE-FX connectivity over multi-mode fibre up to two kilometres. It is coded for Cisco equipment and initialises identically to the OEM part, so network engineers can add or replace links without reconfiguring the switch.

Commercial temperature range and low power draw

Rated for 0 to 70 C operation, the transceiver runs within standard SFP power limits and produces no audible noise. Digital optical monitoring is supported, giving administrators real-time visibility of link health without extra cabling.

LC duplex connector and MSA compliance

The LC duplex interface matches common patch-panel layouts, allowing straightforward patch-cord management in dense racks. Full MSA compliance means the module fits any standard SFP slot, while the third-party coding ensures seamless interoperability alongside original Cisco optics.

Questions about this item

How is the SFP transceiver installed in a Cisco switch slot and what step is often missed?

Insert the module until the latch clicks, then connect the LC duplex fiber cables to the matching Tx and Rx ports; the step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the transceiver and patch cables before linking them.

What maintenance or replacement will this transceiver need during its service life?

The module itself has no user-serviceable parts; maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the LC connector end-faces with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol to keep the 1310 nm optical path clear.

What operational limit appears first when the link runs continuously at full 100 Mbps load?

The commercial temperature ceiling of 70 °C is the first hard limit; sustained throughput at 100 Mbps within the 2 km multi-mode reach will not exceed the transceiver's rated optical budget before thermal limits are reached.
