Trendnet TE100-MGBS20 100BASE-FX Single-mode Sfp

Product Description

The TRENDNET TE100-MGBS20 is a 100BASE-FX Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed for single-mode fiber optic network installations. It uses an LC connector interface and operates at Fast Ethernet speeds of 100 Mbps over single-mode fiber. This module slots into any SFP-compatible managed switch, media converter, or network device that supports 100BASE-FX SFP ports. Network technicians and structured cabling professionals install this transceiver when extending fiber runs beyond the distance limitations of multimode links or when connecting into existing single-mode plant infrastructure.

This transceiver is suited for enterprise, commercial, and industrial network environments where long-distance fiber connectivity is required. It is commonly deployed in managed switch uplinks, backbone segments, and media conversion applications. The LC duplex form factor is standard in modern fiber patch panel and switch deployments. Network installers working on enterprise LAN infrastructure, telecommunications rooms, or industrial Ethernet installations will find this module fits directly into compatible SFP slots without additional hardware.

Key Features

• 100BASE-FX SFP form factor for Fast Ethernet fiber connectivity at 100 Mbps
• Single-mode LC fiber interface for extended distance transmission
• Hot-swappable SFP module design allows installation without powering down the host device
• Compact SFP footprint fits standard SFP slots on managed switches and media converters
• Sold as a single unit for individual port upgrades or targeted infrastructure expansion

Compatibility

Designed for use in SFP-compatible network devices that support 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber operation, including managed switches and enterprise media converters with open SFP slots.

Installation Notes

This transceiver is installed by qualified network technicians familiar with fiber optic handling and SFP module procedures. Clean LC fiber endfaces before insertion using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to prevent signal loss. The module is hot-swappable, but always follow the host device manufacturer guidelines for SFP insertion and removal. Bend radius limits on single-mode fiber patch cables must be observed to avoid signal degradation.
