Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

This copper transceiver is intended for short equipment links over the twisted-pair cabling category stated in the specifications. Typical uses include switch-to-server, switch-to-switch and rack-level connections where an RJ-45 interface is preferred over fiber. Use the required cable category, observe the rated distance and confirm that the host supports the module’s speed, power consumption and electrical operating modes.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100M interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP SGMII housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

The rated 100m copper channel should be assessed as a complete cabling link. Confirm cable category, shielding practice and supported host mode before installation. A link indicator alone does not prove that the expected electrical rate has been established.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

Use the electrical and optical limits in the specification table as the acceptance reference for this model. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

High-Density Port and Thermal Planning

In a densely populated chassis, connector access and airflow form part of the optical-link design. Confirm that neighboring modules and patch leads leave room for latch operation, and include listed power consumption in the host thermal budget. Assess port density together with fiber management. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 100Mbps, rated reach 100m.

Ordering Information

Quote HT part number SFP-FB-GE-T together with OEM reference E1MG-100FX-T and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing

The module is checked for host recognition as E1MG-100FX-T, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
