TRENDnet TE100-MGBFX 100Base-FX SFP Multi-Mode Module

Detailed Specifications

The TRENDnet TE100-MGBFX is a specialized, hot-pluggable SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver designed to extend Fast Ethernet network connections over multi-mode fiber optic cable. It is engineered for reliability in enterprise, industrial, and campus environments where network segments must be connected over distances that exceed the limitations of standard copper cabling. This module effectively solves the challenge of linking switches, routers, or media converters up to 2 kilometers apart with a stable, high-integrity fiber link. Built for broad compatibility, the transceiver adheres to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, ensuring it functions correctly in any compliant SFP slot. It operates on a 1310nm wavelength to support a data rate of 100Mbps, conforming to the 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet standard. This specific technology provides a robust and interference-resistant communication channel, which is a significant operational benefit in electrically noisy environments where copper-based Ethernet would be susceptible to data degradation. The use of a standard duplex LC connector simplifies installation and ensures a secure physical connection. Deployment of the TE100-MGBFX is straightforward and designed to minimize network disruption. Its compact, standardized form factor allows it to be installed in the SFP port of a wide range of networking equipment. As a hot-pluggable device, it can be inserted or removed from a switch or other network appliance while the system is running, eliminating the need for scheduled downtime for installation or replacement. This feature is critical for maintaining network availability and streamlining maintenance tasks within a dynamic IT infrastructure.
