Brocade E1MG-100FX-OM 100Mb/s SFP 2km 1310nm Duplex LC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Brocade E1MG-100FX-OM is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for 100 Megabit Ethernet (100MbE) connectivity. This module enables network devices such as switches and routers to connect to multi-mode fiber optic networks. It operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, which is commonly used for medium-reach fiber optic links, and supports distances of up to 2 kilometers. The 'FX' in the model name typically refers to the 100Base-FX standard, which is an Ethernet standard for transmission over fiber optic cable. This transceiver is specifically designed for use with multi-mode fiber (MMF) optic cables. Multi-mode fiber is characterized by a larger core diameter compared to single-mode fiber, which makes it easier to connect and align optical fibers, and it is generally more cost-effective for shorter to medium-distance applications. The 100Mb/s data rate makes it suitable for applications that do not require the higher bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet, such as certain legacy systems, control networks, or specific industrial applications. The E1MG-100FX-OM features a duplex LC connector, which is the standard physical interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable link. The 2km reach capability makes it versatile for connecting devices within a building, across a campus, or in other scenarios where distances exceed the limits of copper cabling but do not require the extreme reach of single-mode fiber. This transceiver is a reliable component for extending 100MbE networks over fiber optic infrastructure.
