Cisco GLC-FE-100FX

Overview

The Cisco GLC-FE-100FX is a small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed to add 100 megabit fiber optic connectivity to your network infrastructure. It supports the 100BASE-FX standard and uses an LC interface for multimode fiber connections, operating at a wavelength of 1310 nanometers. This module enables stable fiber links up to 2 kilometers, making it suitable for extending network reach beyond the limits of copper cabling.

By inserting this transceiver into the SFP slot of compatible Cisco switches or routers, you can easily migrate from copper to fiber without overhauling your existing setup. It is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 2960 and 3560 switches, as well as Integrated Services Routers in the 1111 and 1117 series, allowing seamless integration and management within familiar Cisco environments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This transceiver module fits into the SFP slot of supported Cisco switches and routers, allowing you to convert copper Ethernet ports to fiber optic links without changing your network architecture. Its LC connector pairs with standard multimode fiber cables, which are widely used in enterprise and campus environments. The module’s compatibility with Cisco Catalyst 2960 and 3560 switches and ISR 1111 and 1117 routers ensures it integrates smoothly into existing Cisco networks, maintaining consistent management and configuration processes.

Ideal uses and environments

The GLC-FE-100FX is well suited for network segments that require longer cable runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference where copper cables fall short. It works effectively in campus backbones, inter-building connections, and industrial settings such as manufacturing floors. This module helps maintain network stability and performance over distances up to 2 kilometers, making it a practical choice for organizations looking to extend their fiber infrastructure without replacing existing hardware.

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.
