GLC-FE-100EX Use Case
Campus Backbone Extension with GLC-FE-100EX for 100BASE-EX Connectivity
In a multi-building enterprise campus, IT architects deploy Cisco GLC-FE-100EX modules to establish a 100BASE-EX fiber link across a 20 km single-mode span. This solution delivers a resilient, low-latency backbone that unifies disparate network segments, reduces packet loss, and simplifies network management. Outcome: Secure, high-availability connectivity between core and distribution switches, supporting mission-critical applications with predictable performance.
Industrial Automation Network in Manufacturing Plants
A manufacturing plant integrates programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and SCADA servers over a harsh-environment fiber network using GLC-FE-100EX 100BASE-EX SFPs. The modules’ single-mode reach up to 40 km and immunity to electromagnetic interference ensure uninterrupted data flow between production cells and central control. Outcome: Increased system uptime, deterministic traffic delivery for real-time monitoring, and streamlined compliance with Industry 4.0 connectivity standards.
Service Provider Edge Aggregation for Last-Mile Fiber
An ISP leverages GLC-FE-100EX transceivers in edge routers to aggregate subscriber traffic from remote DSLAMs over a 15 km fiber span. The 100BASE-EX link offers a cost-effective, easy-to-scale aggregation layer with hot-swap capability and straightforward diagnostics via SFP port monitoring. Outcome: Reduced operational expenses, scalable subscriber growth, and enhanced QoS enforcement for broadband services.
