Cisco (mgblx1) Gigabit Ethernet Lx Mini-gbic Sfp Transceiver Mgblx1
Cisco MFE and MGE Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or mini Gigabit Interface
Converter (mini-GBIC) transceivers (Table 1) are easy-to-install modules that
provide a simple way to add fiber connectivity or to add an extra Gigabit
Ethernet port to your Cisco Small Business or Cisco Small Business Pro Series
switches. The transceivers are available for single-mode or multimode
fiber-optic cabling and can support distances from 100 meters up to 40
kilometers.
The Cisco MFE and MGE transceivers provide fast and reliable connectivity
between switches that are located on different floors, in separate buildings, or
on a small campus network needing connectivity between sites. These transceivers
can support both Fast and Gigabit Ethernet applications.
