Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX SFP Module 100BASE-ZX 80km LC

Brand:

The Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX is a Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver module designed for long-distance fiber connectivity up to 80 km over single-mode fiber. It enables reliable 100BASE-ZX optical transmission using LC duplex interfaces, making it suitable for enterprise WAN links, metro Ethernet extensions, and carrier-grade network backhaul where stable long-reach connectivity is required.

OVERVIEW

  • The Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX is a long-reach Fast Ethernet SFP optical transceiver engineered for enterprise and carrier networks requiring stable connectivity over extended distances up to 80 km. It operates on the 100BASE-ZX standard over single-mode fiber using LC duplex connectors, enabling reliable point-to-point or backbone fiber links across campuses, metro regions, and distributed enterprise environments.
  • Within Cisco’s SFP module portfolio, this model is positioned for extended-reach fiber deployments where standard short-range optics are insufficient. It is commonly deployed in WAN aggregation, disaster recovery connectivity, and inter-site communication architectures where network continuity and low-latency data transport are critical. Compared to short-range and intermediate SFP variants, the GLC-FE-100ZX delivers significantly higher transmission distance, making it suitable for geographically dispersed infrastructure and mission-critical connectivity strategies.
