Brocade E1MG-100FX-T Compatible 100M SFP SGMII Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing E1MG-100FX-T, this HT-manufactured SFP SGMII module delivers 100M transmission at the listed wavelength plan. Its rated reach is 100m, with RJ-45 as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support project teams keep OEM references, delivery records and port schedules aligned, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.
OEM Part Number: E1MG-100FX-THT Part Number: SFP-FB-GE-T

Project Documentation and Traceability
Large deployments are easier to audit when the order code, optical standard and endpoint record agree. Keep the OEM reference in the compatibility document and the HT part number on the packing list. Labels and carton groups can be arranged by rack or port plan so installers need not identify modules by appearance. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 100Mbps, rated reach 100m.
Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing
Compatibility testing for E1MG-100FX-T combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
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.
For this copper interface, use the stated cable category and keep the channel within 100m. Patch-cord construction, connector quality and auto-negotiation can affect the result. Verify the negotiated speed and diagnostics at both ends rather than assuming every RJ-45 port behaves identically.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Brocade transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies E1MG-100FX-T, not an original Brocade-branded module.
Which copper cable and connector are required?
Use RJ-45 with the specified category of Cat 5/Cat 6/Cat 6a. The rated reach is 100m, subject to cable category, installation quality and host support.
Can it be used at a different speed or over another cable category?
Only within the multi-rate and cabling capabilities stated in the specifications and supported by the host. Confirm the required cable category, distance and auto-negotiation behavior before installation.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify E1MG-100FX-T, SFP-FB-GE-T, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
