Description

Cisco 100BASE-LX10 SFP

The Cisco 100BASE-LX10 SFP is a high‑reliability, hot‑swappable fiber transceiver designed to extend your Fast Ethernet networks with long‑haul performance and effortless integration. Built to meet the demands of enterprise campuses, data centers, and branch office backbones, this Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module delivers robust 100 Mbps connectivity over fiber, enabling seamless links between switches, routers, and other network devices. Engineered with Cisco’s proven optics technology, the 100BASE-LX10 SFP offers plug‑and‑play deployment, minimal downtime, and scalable performance for today’s evolving networks. Whether you’re upgrading an aging copper link, spreading your campus network over fiber, or creating a reliable fiber backbone, this SFP provides a cost‑effective, future‑ready path to higher efficiency, greater distance, and stronger signal integrity.

  • The 100BASE-LX10 SFP is a hot‑swappable fiber transceiver that plugs into a Fast Ethernet port or slot, delivering reliable, plug‑and‑play connectivity with minimal disruption to network services. Its compact, metal enclosure is built for rack‑mount environments and is designed to resist environmental stress, helping maintain link integrity in busy data centers and campus networks.
  • Operates at 100 Mbps with full‑duplex capability, delivering deterministic performance for time‑sensitive applications such as VOIP, video conferencing, automated backups, and real‑time data replication. This makes it an ideal upgrade option for legacy Fast Ethernet deployments seeking fiber‑based reliability without a complete network overhaul.
  • 1310 nm long‑range optics enable links over substantial distances. The LX10 designation signifies extended reach on single‑mode fiber, with practical distances up to 10 kilometers on appropriate fiber. This makes it an excellent choice for campus backbones, inter‑building connections, and data center interconnects where fiber is preferred for its low attenuation and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
  • Compatibility and interoperability are at the core of Cisco optics. Designed to work with a wide range of Cisco switches and routers that support SFP modules, the 100BASE-LX10 SFP provides a seamless upgrade path while maintaining the reliability, diagnostics, and support Cisco customers expect. It’s also compatible with other devices that conform to the 100BASE‑LX10 standard, ensuring flexibility in mixed environments.
  • Quality engineering and compliance mean long‑term value. The SFP adheres to industry standards such as IEEE 802.3 100BASE‑LX10 and RoHS compliance, with features like LC duplex connectors, robust ESD protection, and a design that minimizes power consumption while maximizing link stability and signal integrity across fiber links.

how to install Cisco 100BASE-LX10 SFP

  • Power down the device or confirm that your system supports hot‑swap for SFP modules to minimize disruption. If hot‑swap is supported, you can install the module without powering down the entire chassis, but follow your device’s operator guide for safety.
  • Remove the existing SFP or open the SFP slot cover on the switch or router. Align the Cisco 100BASE-LX10 SFP with the slot’s rails and gently insert until the module clicks into place and the latching mechanism engages.
  • Connect your fiber patch cable to the LC duplex connectors on the SFP. Ensure you use a clean, properly terminated fiber link; use protective caps when cables are not connected to prevent dust ingress.
  • Route the fiber properly to avoid excessive bending; follow recommended bend radii to preserve signal integrity. Verify that the other end of the link is connected to a compatible 100BASE-LX10 port on the remote device.
  • Power up the device (if you powered down) and verify link status. On Cisco devices, check the port status via the command line or management interface to confirm the SFP is detected and the link is up. If necessary, set the port to 100 Mbps and full duplex to ensure optimal operation, though many devices auto‑negotiate successfully.
  • Run a basic connectivity test (ping or broadcast test traffic) and monitor for error counters or link flaps. If you encounter link issues, recheck fiber polarity (TX/RX alignment), cabling integrity, and ensure both ends support 100BASE‑LX10 at the configured distance.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the Cisco 100BASE-LX10 SFP? The 100BASE-LX10 SFP is a fiber transceiver designed for Fast Ethernet networks, offering long‑range, 100 Mbps connectivity via a hot‑swappable SFP module with LC duplex connectors.
  • What fiber types does it support? It supports both single‑mode fiber (SMF) for long distances and can be used with certain multi‑mode fiber (MMF) installations depending on the network design and distance requirements.
  • What distance can I expect? In typical deployments, SMF links can reach up to about 10 kilometers, while MMF links are shorter and depend on fiber grade and link budget; always verify with your fiber engineering for precise distances.
