GLC-GE-100FX Cisco special FE module for GE ports

There could be situations when you could need to use a Gigabit Ethernet Port at Fast Ethernet speeds on Cisco switches or routers. To do that, we need to use a special transceiver. Cisco routers and switches do not support using a GE optical transceiver at 100 Mbps. The electro-optical component operates only at the single rated speed.

If you like to make a GE (Gigabit Ethernet) port work in FE (Fast Ethernet) speeds, there is a necessity to use a special type of Cisco module: GLC-GE-100FX=

Cisco's original description is as below, but basically it is a special hardware module (with SGMII interface) which can ensure that when plugged into a GE port, it will do the conversion, and it will be possible to use the port at 100 Mbps speeds.

Model Number GLC-GE-100FX=

Description 100BASE-FX SFP module for Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1310 nm wavelength, 2 km over MMF[1]

Cisco 100BASE-FX SFP module operates on an ordinary multimode fiber-optic (MMF) link that spans up to 2KM.
