Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco GLC-FE-100FX-RGD= SFP module?
The GLC-FE-100FX-RGD= is a ruggedized 100BASE-FX multimode fiber SFP module designed for industrial and harsh-environment deployments.
What data rate and interface does this SFP support?
It supports a fixed 100 Mbps Ethernet interface over 100BASE-FX fiber.
Which fiber type and connector are required?
This module uses 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber with an LC duplex connector.
What is the maximum link distance I can achieve?
Over multimode OM1 fiber (62.5/125 µm) it reaches up to 2 km; on OM2/OM3 it may exceed 2 km with proper link budget.
At what wavelength does the GLC-FE-100FX-RGD= operate?
It operates at a 1300 nm wavelength optimized for multimode fiber transmission.
What operating temperature range does this rugged SFP support?
This module is rated for −40 °C to +85 °C to withstand extreme industrial conditions.
Is the GLC-FE-100FX-RGD= compatible with standard Cisco switches and routers?
Yes. It is Cisco-certified and interoperable with all Cisco platforms that accept 100BASE-FX SFPs.
Can I use this module in outdoor enclosures or pole-mounted cabinets?
Absolutely. Its rugged design and wide temperature tolerance make it ideal for outdoor and pole-mount installations.
Which industry standards does this SFP comply with?
It meets IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX, SFF-8472 for diagnostic monitoring, and Telcordia GR-326-CORE for optical reliability.
Do I need any software configuration to install the module?
No. Simply insert the GLC-FE-100FX-RGD= into the SFP slot; the device auto-detects and configures the port.
How do I troubleshoot link-up issues with this SFP?
Verify fiber polarity, check for proper LC connectors, confirm multimode fiber type, and ensure link-partner compatibility.
