Cisco GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module

Features

Hot-swappable

The Cisco GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module is hot-swappable, which means it can be inserted or removed from a device without interrupting its operation. This feature is incredibly convenient as it allows for easy installation and replacement of the module without the need to power down the equipment.

Hot-swappability minimizes downtime and reduces the risk of any disruption to critical network services. It enables network administrators to add or remove modules as needed, making network maintenance and upgrades more efficient and hassle-free. This feature is especially important in environments where uninterrupted connectivity is crucial, such as data centers, telecommunication networks, and enterprise networks.

Low power consumption

The GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module is designed to consume low power, making it an energy-efficient choice for network deployments. Low power consumption not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to a greener and more sustainable environment.

In scenarios where large numbers of transceiver modules are deployed, such as in data centers or service provider networks, the cumulative energy savings can be substantial. Network equipment powered by these modules can operate more efficiently, resulting in reduced electricity bills and lower carbon emissions.

Compact design

The compact design of the Cisco GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module allows for easy integration into various networking devices. Its small form factor makes it suitable for devices with limited space, such as switches, routers, and media converters.

The compact size enables network administrators to maximize the utilization of available rack space, leading to better scalability and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the module's small size simplifies cable management and reduces clutter within network cabinets or data center racks.

Supports 100BASE-BX

The GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module supports the 100BASE-BX standard, which is a Fast Ethernet technology that enables data transmission at a rate of 100 Mbps. This feature ensures high-speed connectivity for various network applications.

With the ability to support 100 Mbps data rates, this module is suitable for environments where bandwidth-intensive tasks are performed. It provides ample capacity for applications such as video streaming, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and file transfers.

Duplex LC connector

The GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module features a duplex LC connector, which is a widely used connector type in fiber optic networks. The LC connector offers several advantages, including high performance, ease of use, and compatibility with different types of fiber optic cables.

The duplex configuration of the LC connector allows for simultaneous transmission and reception of data over two fibers, enabling full-duplex communication. This capability ensures efficient utilization of available bandwidth and reduces the risk of data collisions or packet loss.

Furthermore, the LC connector's compact size makes it ideal for high-density applications, where space-saving is essential. The connector's push-pull mechanism also facilitates easy insertion and removal without the need for additional tools.

Single-mode fiber

The GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module operates over single-mode fiber (SMF) cables. Single-mode fiber offers several benefits compared to multi-mode fiber (MMF), including longer transmission distances and higher data rates.

By using single-mode fiber, this module can achieve transmission distances of up to 10 kilometers, making it suitable for long-range deployments. Additionally, single-mode fiber provides better immunity to signal attenuation and dispersion, resulting in higher quality and more reliable data transmission.

With its support for single-mode fiber, the GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module is an excellent choice for applications that require long-distance connectivity, such as metropolitan area networks (MANs), campus networks, and large-scale enterprise networks.

Summary

The Cisco GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module offers a range of features that enhance its versatility and usability in various networking environments. Its hot-swappable nature simplifies maintenance and upgrades, while low power consumption contributes to energy efficiency.

Additionally, the compact design allows for easy integration into space-constrained devices, and support for 100BASE-BX ensures high-speed connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications. The duplex LC connector enables efficient data transmission, and compatibility with single-mode fiber extends the module's reach for long-distance deployments.

Overall, the GLC-FE-100BX-D SFP Transceiver Module is a reliable and efficient solution that meets the requirements of modern networks, providing seamless connectivity and optimal performance.
