Perle 100Base-FX SFP transceiver

The Perle 05059290 is a Fast Ethernet SFP module built for servers and network equipment that use small form-factor pluggable ports. It adds a single 100Base-FX fibre link through an LC connector, letting administrators extend a 100 Mbps connection over multimode fibre. The module is suited for legacy infrastructure that still relies on Fast Ethernet fibre uplinks.

Capacity and headroom: 100 Mbps fibre link

This transceiver delivers one 100Base-FX channel at 100 Mbps, which is adequate for older management networks, industrial automation or building automation segments. It does not support Gigabit or higher speeds, so it cannot serve modern high-throughput uplinks or storage traffic. The single LC port provides no redundancy; a second module and switch port are required for link diversity.

Thermals, noise and power in normal use

As a passive optical transceiver, the unit generates minimal heat and operates silently without fans. Power draw stays within the standard SFP envelope, so it does not strain the host chassis power budget. The module is rated for extended temperature ranges, allowing deployment in equipment rooms or cabinets where ambient conditions exceed typical office limits.

Questions about this item

Will the 100Base-FX SFP work in a legacy switch that only has 100 Mbps SFP cages?

The module is a 100Base-FX SFP, so it fits standard 100 Mbps SFP cages and links at 100 Mbps over multimode fibre.

How can I confirm the LC 100Base-FX link is up after I install the transceiver?

Check the switch or server port LEDs for a solid link light and verify the interface shows 100 Mbps full-duplex in the management console.

Does the 05059290 come with patch cables or do I need to buy LC multimode fibre separately?

Only the SFP transceiver is included; LC-terminated multimode patch cables must be purchased separately.
