Brute Networks 100BASE-FX SFP Transceiver

This Brute Networks GLC-GE-100FX is a third-party SFP transceiver module built for 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet links over multi-mode fibre. It operates at a 1310nm wavelength and supports distances up to 2km. The module plugs into a standard SFP slot and is tested for full Cisco compatibility across listed Catalyst switches. Commercial temperature rating covers 0 to 70 degrees Celsius.

Suits 100Mbps Multi-Mode Fibre Links

Network engineers extending 100 Mbps connections over multi-mode fibre up to 2km will find this module fits directly into compatible Cisco Catalyst SFP ports. It is not for gigabit or 10-gigabit throughput needs, nor for single-mode fibre runs. Buyers needing longer reach, higher speed, or different wavelength optics should look at other transceiver types.

100 Mbps 2km Multi-Mode Reach

The decisive specification is the 100 Mbps transfer rate over multi-mode fibre at 1310nm with a 2km maximum distance. This defines the link speed, fibre type and reach the module delivers. Confirm your switch port supports 100BASE-FX and that the link budget matches this 2km multi-mode parameter before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 100 Mbps transfer rate deliver when the module is installed in a live switch?

The module provides a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet link over multi-mode fibre, using the 1310 nm wavelength to reach up to 2 km on MMF cable.

How does the SFP form factor and LC connector limit the connection in practice?

It plugs into any standard SFP slot and presents dual LC ports for 100BASE-FX, so the link is capped at 100 Mbps full-duplex over multi-mode fibre.

Will the 2.2 in × 0.5 in × 0.4 in module fit my Catalyst 2960 or 3560 switch?

Yes — the plug-in module matches the SFP mini-GBIC slot dimensions and is listed as compatible with Catalyst 2960 and 3560 series switches.
