Cisco Transceiver Modules

Data Sheet

The Cisco® 100BASE-X Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Fast Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network. See Figure 1.

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

• Allows easy adjustment to changes in network configuration

• Interchangeable with other Cisco 100BASE-X SFP models on the same line card

• Supports the Cisco Systems® 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
