Add-On GLC-FE-100FX85-AO SFP Transceiver Module

Overview

The Add-On GLC-FE-100FX85-AO is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet fiber optic links. It provides a reliable method for extending network distances over multimode fiber, commonly used in industrial environments or between network closets where copper cabling is insufficient. This module specifically utilizes an 850nm wavelength for short-reach applications up to 2 kilometers.

Compatibility

This GLC-FE-100FX85-AO module is designed as a Cisco-compatible replacement. It is intended for use in network switches and routers that support industry-standard SFP transceivers, particularly those from Cisco's Catalyst and Nexus product lines. Verify your switch's SFP port specifications and firmware compatibility for third-party modules if not using Cisco-branded hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation involves inserting the SFP module into an available SFP slot on a compatible network switch or router. Ensure the LC connector is clean before insertion. The module draws minimal power from the host device and does not require separate power connections. It is rated for operation within standard enterprise network closet temperature ranges.
