Cisco Systems, Inc. is an American multinational corporation headquartered in San Jose, California, that designs, manufactures, and sells networking equipment. With the rapid development of optical communication, Cisco’s products of optical networking are being used more and more widely all around the world. Among them, the SFP transceiver module is a critical component. In this article, Cisco SFP module will be introduced.
Cisco Products Refer To Optical Communication
In fact, Cisco produces many optical networking equipment, such as optical services modules, optical transponders, optical transceiver modules and a comprehensive portfolio of WDM transmission modules, which includes optical terminal filters, optical amplifiers, optical service channel, and others, to support the network applications of enterprise and service provider customers.
Cisco SFP Transceiver Modules
Cisco SFP transceiver modules support Ethernet, Sonet/SDH and Fibre Channel applications across all Cisco switching and routing platforms. The Cisco portfolio of hot pluggable interfaces offers a rich set of choices in terms of speeds, protocols, reaches and supported transmission media. Generally, these SFP transceiver modules are divided into three types as following three sorts:
| Cisco 100M Ethernet SFP | Part Number | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cisco 100BASE-FX SFP | GLC-FE-100FX | Operates on ordinary multimode fiber-optic (MMF) link spans up to 2 kilometers long. For 100Mbps Ethernet ports. |
| GLC-GE-100FX | Operates on ordinary multimode fiber-optic (MMF) link spans up to 2 kilometers long. For Gigabit Ethernet ports. | |
| Cisco 100BASE-LX10 SFP | GLC-FE-100LX | Operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) link spans up to 10 kilometers long. |
| Cisco 100BASE-ZX SFP | GLC-FE-100LX-RGD | Operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) link spans up to 10 kilometers long. |
| Cisco 100BASE-BX10 SFP | GLC-FE-100BX-D GLC-FE-100BX-U | Operates on ordinary SMF single-strand link spans up to 10 kilometers long. |
| Cisco 100BASE-EX SFP | GLC-FE-100EX | Operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) link spans up to 40 kilometers long. |
| Cisco 100BASE-ZX SFP | GLC-FE-100ZX | Operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) link spans up to 80 kilometers long. |
| Gigabit Ethernet SFP | Part Number | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cisco 1000BASE-SX SFP | GLC-SX- MM | Operates on 50m multimode fiber links up to 550m and on 62.5 m FDDI-grade multimode fibers up to 220m. |
| Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP | GLC-LH-SM | Operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 10 km and up to 550 m on any multimode fibers. |
| Cisco 1000BASE-ZX SFP | GLC-ZX-SM | Operates on standard single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to approximately 70 km in length. |
| Cisco 1000BASE-BX10-D & 1000BASE-BX10-U SFP | GLC-BX-D GLC-BX-U | Operates on a single strand of standard single-mode fiber. A 1000BASE-BX10-D device is always connected to a 1000BASE-BX10-U device with a single strand of standard single-mode fiber with an operating transmission range up to 10 km. |
| Cisco 1000BASE-T SFP | GLC-T SFP-GE-T | 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver Module for Category 5 copper wire. |

The Fiberstore industry-standard 1000BASE-T Small Form-factor Pluggable (GLC-T SFP RJ45 Cisco) gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network. The SFP modules from Fiberstore provide full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to high-end workstations and between wiring closets over existing copper network infrastructure.
Main Featurs
- Hot-swappable when deployed, the switch or router does not have to reboot
- Interchangeable with other 1000BASE-X SFPs on the same linecard
- Supports Cisco quality ID feature that enables the switch or router to identify whether the SFP is a Cisco SFP
Technical Specifications
- Platform Support The Cisco 1000BASE-T SFP is supported across a variety Cisco switches, routers, and optical transport devices.
