Add-On GLC-FE-100ZX-AO 100BASE-ZX SFP Transceiver

Overview

The Add-On GLC-FE-100ZX-AO is a TAA-compliant SFP transceiver designed for extending network reach over single-mode fiber optic cable. It operates at 100BASE-ZX speeds, providing a reliable link for up to 80 kilometers. This transceiver is critical for connecting network devices across large campuses, metropolitan areas, or between geographically dispersed facilities where standard Ethernet distances are insufficient. Deploy this module when you need to bridge significant distances without compromising network performance.

Compatibility

This GLC-FE-100ZX-AO SFP transceiver is engineered to be compatible with network equipment supporting the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). It is designed to interface with Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX ports and other network switches, routers, and media converters that accept 100BASE-ZX SFP modules. Verify your device's SFP port specifications for single-mode fiber and 100BASE-ZX compatibility.

Installation Notes

Install the GLC-FE-100ZX-AO transceiver into an available SFP slot on your network device. Ensure the fiber optic cable is clean and properly terminated before connecting it to the transceiver's LC duplex connector. The module draws minimal power from the host device and requires no configuration; it is plug-and-play. Handle the transceiver by its edges to avoid touching the optical connectors or pins.
