CISCO 100BASE-X SFP FOR FAST ETHERNET SFP PORTS

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Cisco® 100BASE-X Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Fast Ethernet port or slot,
linking the port with the network.

Main features include the following:

• Hot-swappable when deployed, the switch or router does not have to reboot.

• Supports the “pay-as-you-populate” model.

• Interchangeable with other 100BASE-X SFPs on the same line card.

• Supports the Cisco quality ID feature that enables the switch or router to identify whether or not the SFP is a Cisco qualified SFP.

• Optically interoperable with respective 100BASE-X Ethernet interfaces on the same link.
