Transition Networks TN-GLC-FE-100FX Sfp Transceiver 100BASE-FX

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS TN-GLC-FE-100FX is a compact SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber optic transceiver designed for 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber. The module uses an LC duplex connector interface and supports link distances up to 2 kilometers, making it a practical choice for in-building and campus network segments. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this type of module in managed switches, media converters, and other SFP-compatible network equipment to extend copper-to-fiber or fiber-to-fiber connections at 100 Mbps throughput. The transceiver is sold as a single unit.

This SFP module is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial buildings, data closets, and campus environments where multimode fiber runs are already in place. It is commonly deployed in network edge and aggregation layers where Fast Ethernet speeds are sufficient and multimode infrastructure is the standard. Installation typically falls within the scope of licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians working on Ethernet distribution systems.

Key Features

• 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet over multimode fiber at up to 2 kilometers
• LC duplex connector interface for standard multimode fiber patch cables
• SFP form factor fits standard SFP slots in compatible switches and media converters
• Single-unit packaging for individual port upgrades or replacements
• Designed for structured cabling and campus network fiber runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style SFP transceiver for use in network switches, media converters, and other equipment with standard 100BASE-FX SFP slots that accept multimode LC fiber modules.

Installation Notes

SFP transceivers of this type are installed by network or low-voltage cabling technicians. Power down or administratively disable the SFP port before inserting or removing the module to avoid potential damage to the host equipment. Clean fiber end-faces before mating connectors to maintain signal integrity. Follow the host device manufacturer guidelines and applicable structured cabling standards when making fiber connections.
