Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum transmission distance for the Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX transceiver?
The Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX supports 100BASE-ZX transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) with a maximum distance of 80 kilometers. This extended-range capability makes it ideal for long-distance network connections in warehouse and logistics operations where remote facilities need reliable connectivity.
What type of fiber cable does the GLC-FE-100ZX require?
The GLC-FE-100ZX is designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) cable, which is optimized for long-distance, high-speed data transmission. Single-mode fiber provides superior performance over extended distances compared to multimode fiber alternatives, ensuring stable connectivity for your critical network infrastructure.
Is the Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX compatible with Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM)?
Yes, the Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), which enables real-time monitoring of transceiver performance metrics such as optical power levels and temperature. This feature allows your IT team to proactively monitor network health and troubleshoot connectivity issues before they impact operations.
What are the typical use cases for the GLC-FE-100ZX in enterprise networks?
The GLC-FE-100ZX is ideal for connecting geographically distributed facilities such as warehouses, distribution centers, and remote logistics hubs over distances up to 80 kilometers. Its 100BASE-ZX standard and single-mode fiber support make it suitable for long-haul metropolitan area networks (MANs) and wide area network (WAN) deployments where extended transmission distances are required.
How does the GLC-FE-100ZX compare to shorter-range SFP transceivers?
Unlike shorter-range transceivers such as the GLC-SX-MM (550m multimode) or GLC-LH-SM (10km single-mode), the GLC-FE-100ZX extends transmission capabilities to 80 kilometers on single-mode fiber. This makes it the optimal choice when you need to connect facilities across larger geographic areas without requiring expensive fiber amplification or regeneration equipment.
What temperature range does the Cisco GLC-FE-100ZX operate in?
The GLC-FE-100ZX is rated for commercial temperature operation, making it suitable for standard climate-controlled data center and network closet environments. For deployments in industrial or extended-temperature environments, we offer alternative Cisco SFP modules rated for industrial temperature ranges—contact us today to discuss your specific environmental requirements.
