100-MB Transceivers
100-MB Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are currently the only 100-MB transceivers
that are supported on a Catalyst 6500 series Ethernet switching module. They are supported only on the
WS-X6148-FE-SFP Ethernet module.
The 100-MB SFP transceiver module is shown in
transceivers and their cabling distances.
The 100-MB and the 1-GB SFP transceivers share the same form factor, but are not interchangeable.
