Brocade (Formerly) E1MG-100FX-LR Compatible 100Base-LH SFP Transceiver (SMF, 1310nm, 40km, LC)

Upgrade and retrofit your network with a reliable, cost-effective 100Base-LH SFP transceiver designed to be fully compatible with the Brocade E1MG-100FX-LR platform. This module delivers dependable fast Ethernet performance over single-mode fiber (SMF) at 1310 nm, offering a robust solution for long-haul links that require high stability and tight tolerance to OEM specifications. Built to meet or exceed the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards and delivered as a TAA-compliant product, this transceiver provides a plug-and-play alternative that minimizes downtime while preserving data integrity across your enterprise, data center, or campus networks. Whether you are modernizing an aging fiber backbone or expanding a core distribution link, this SFP transceiver combines compatibility, performance, and value without compromising reliability or network security.

• Compatibility and compliance: Specifically engineered to be compatible with Brocade’s E1MG-100FX-LR deployments, this 100Base-LH SFP transceiver follows MSA standards and is TAA compliant, ensuring a seamless fit into a wide range of Brocade and enterprise fiber infrastructures. It is designed to deliver OEM-grade performance with a budget-friendly price point, enabling quick replacement or upgrade of existing fixed-port fiber links without vendor lock-in.
• 1310 nm wavelength for long-haul SMF links: Operating at 1310 nm, this transceiver is optimized for single-mode fiber, delivering reliable signal integrity over long distances. The 1310 nm window minimizes dispersion over typical backbone lengths, making it well-suited for campus interconnections, data center uplinks, and remote site connectivity where fiber spans exceed several kilometers. This spectral choice aligns with industry standards for 100Base-LH deployments and supports stable, low-noise transmission across the network.
• 40 km reach with LC duplex connection: Capable of transmitting data up to 40 km on SMF, this module is ideal for connecting distant network segments that require fiber-based Ethernet at 100 Mbps. The LC duplex connector supports high-density fiber layouts and easy field termination, enabling straightforward integration into existing chassis, switches, and media converters that specify LC-based SFP transceivers.
• High-quality performance with OEM-grade reliability: Although a compatible transceiver, it is engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, providing dependable 100Base-LH operation and consistent link quality. Each unit is manufactured to strict tolerances to minimize insertion loss and ensure compatibility with a broad range of SFP-enabled devices, reducing the risk of interoperability issues and avoiding the common pitfalls of mismatched modules.
• 100% tested and ready for deployment: Every transceiver undergoes comprehensive functional testing to verify key parameters, including wavelength, distance capability, and data integrity. This commitment to quality helps ensure that your network experiences minimal downtime during installation and maintenance windows, supporting smooth upgrades, hot-swapping in compatible environments, and rapid diagnostics if a link issue arises.

How to install Brocade (Formerly) E1MG-100FX-LR Compatible 100Base-LH SFP Transceiver

• Power down the switch, router, or media device and unplug from power where applicable before handling the SFP module.
• Identify an available SFP slot that supports 100Base-LH and is compatible with SFP transceivers of this type.
• Insert the SFP transceiver into the SFP slot until the module locks into place with the mechanical latch, ensuring proper alignment and seating.
• Connect a duplex LC fiber patch cord designed for 1310 nm SMF to the LC connectors on the transceiver and the corresponding port on the opposite device. Confirm that the fiber links are clean and properly terminated to minimize signal loss.
• Power on the device and configure the port to operate at 100 Mbps (if auto-negotiation is not enabled). Verify link status via the device’s management interface or command-line utility and ensure the partner device is also configured for compatible speed and duplex settings.
• Run a basic link test and, if available, a throughput or BER test to confirm data integrity over the link. If issues arise, recheck fiber terminations, patch cord quality, and slot compatibility, then reseat the transceiver as needed.
