CISCO 100BASE-FX SFP FAST ETHERNET INTERFACE CONVERTER ON GIGABIT SFP PORTS
The Cisco 100BASE-FX Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Fast Ethernet Interface Converter (GLC-GE-100FX=) is a hotswappable device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet SFP port on Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series, 3560 Series, and 2970 Series switches. The Cisco SFP provides full-duplex 100-Mbps connectivity between switches over multimode fiber (MMF) infrastructures. It offers investment protection and an easy migration path for customers moving to Gigabit Ethernet connections in the future. The 100BASE-FX SFP operates on ordinary multimode fiber optical link spans of up to 2 kilometers (km) in length. Customers implementing Cisco 100BASE-FX SFP can use 1000BASE-X SFPs in the future (including SX, LX/LH, ZX, and coarse wavelength-division multiplexing SFPs).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Platform Support The Cisco 100BASE-FX SFP on Gigabit SFP ports is supported on Cisco Catalyst 3750, 3560, and 2970 series switches. Connectors and Cabling Connectors: Dual LC connector Table 1 shows cabling specifications for the 100BASE-FX SFP installed on a Gigabit Ethernet SFP port. The minimum cable distance is 6.5 feet (2 meters [m]).
