Cisco GLC-FE-100FX-RGD

Overview

The Cisco GLC-FE-100FX-RGD is a small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed to add 100BaseFX fiber connectivity to Cisco switches or routers with available SFP slots. It supports Fast Ethernet speeds of 100 Mbps over multimode fiber, operating at a 1310 nm wavelength to cover distances up to two kilometers. This makes it an excellent choice for extending network links across campus buildings, warehouses, or industrial environments where copper cabling is impractical or susceptible to interference.

Its compact and hot-swappable design allows network administrators to install or replace the module without interrupting network operations, enabling flexible and scalable fiber deployment. The module integrates seamlessly with other Cisco 100BaseX SFPs, maintaining consistent management and diagnostics through Cisco’s command-line interface.

Connectivity and compatibility

This transceiver module fits into any Cisco device equipped with an SFP slot that supports 100BaseFX optics. It uses LC connectors for fiber cabling, which are common in enterprise and industrial fiber installations. The module’s compatibility with Cisco’s command-line interface ensures that network teams can manage and monitor the link using familiar tools, reducing the learning curve and simplifying network operations.

Its fiber-based connection is ideal for environments where electromagnetic interference or long distances make copper cabling unsuitable, such as factory floors, utility substations, or campus networks.

Ideal uses and environments

The Cisco GLC-FE-100FX-RGD is well suited for industrial automation, campus networking, and utility applications where reliable Fast Ethernet over fiber is required. It works effectively to connect remote devices like traffic cameras, environmental sensors, or control panels that are spread across distances beyond copper cable limits. Its rugged design and Cisco qualification make it a dependable choice for mission-critical networks that demand consistent performance and minimal downtime.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
