Cisco GLC-FE-100FX-RGD - SFP Transceiver

Cisco Part Number: GLC-FE-100FX-RGD is a Cisco 100BASE-FX Rugged SFP for Fast Ethernet SFP Ports

The Cisco 100BASE-X Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) device, is an input/output device designed for Fast Ethernet ports, dual-rate Fast/Gigabit Ethernet ports, or Gigabit Ethernet ports of a Cisco switch or router. It establishes a connection between the port and the fiber cabling network.

Key features include:

• Hot-swappable deployment: The device can be inserted or removed without rebooting the switch or router.
• "Pay-as-you-populate" model support: Flexibility in adding SFPs according to requirements.
• Interchangeability: Can be swapped with other 100BASE-X SFPs on the same line card.
• Cisco quality ID feature: Enables the switch or router to recognize if the SFP is a Cisco qualified SFP.
• Optical interoperability: Works seamlessly with corresponding 100BASE-X Ethernet interfaces on the same link.

Cisco 100BASE-FX SFP

The Cisco 100BASE-FX SFP operates on ordinary multimode fiber-optic (MMF) link spans up to 2 kilometers (km) long.

GLC-FE-100FX modules operate in Fast Ethernet or dual-rate Fast/Gigabit Ethernet ports of Cisco switches and routers.

GLC-FE-100FX-RGD modules operate in Fast Ethernet or dual-rate Fast/Gigabit Ethernet ports of Cisco Industrial Ethernet and SmartGrid switches and routers.

GLC-GE-100FX modules operate in Gigabit Ethernet ports of Cisco switches and routers.

All these modules are interoperable with industrywide interfaces compliant to the IEEE 100BASE-FX standard.
