Product overview
Cisco® MGE Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or mini Gigabit Interface Converter (mini-GBIC) transceivers are
easy-to-install modules that provide a simple way to add fiber connectivity or an extra Gigabit Ethernet port to your
Cisco 100, 200, 300, and 500 Series switches. The transceivers are available for single-mode or multimode fiberoptic cabling and can support distances from 100 meters up to 40 kilometers.
The Cisco MGE transceivers provide fast, reliable connectivity between switches located on different floors, in
separate buildings, or on a small campus network needing connectivity between sites. These transceivers can
support Gigabit Ethernet applications. Figures 1 and 2 show the fiber-optic and copper transceivers. Table 1 lists
the transceiver modules.
