Cisco GLC-TE 1000BASE-T Standard Copper SFP Transceiver Module

Description

Cisco GLC-TE – 1000BASE-T Copper SFP Transceiver Module

The Cisco GLC-TE is a Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver module designed for high-speed copper connections over standard Cat5e, Cat6, and higher Ethernet cables. It allows 1 Gbps network connectivity over RJ-45 interfaces, making it ideal for enterprise networks, data centers, and campus environments.

Key Specifications:

• Form Factor: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable)
• Interface: RJ-45 (Copper Ethernet Port)
• Speed: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Distance: Up to 100 meters (328 feet)
• Cable Type: Cat5e, Cat6, or higher Ethernet cables
• Power Consumption: 1.2W (low power usage)
• Hot-Swappable: Can be inserted or removed without restarting the switch/router
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C (Standard version)
• Auto-Negotiation: Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds

Key Features:

✔ Gigabit Ethernet Over Copper: Enables high-speed networking over standard RJ-45 cables
✔ 100m Transmission Distance: Ideal for short to medium-range connectivity
✔ Hot-Swappable: No need to power down switches/routers for installation
✔ Auto-Negotiation: Supports backward compatibility with lower speeds
✔ Low Power Consumption: Energy-efficient performance

Compatible Cisco Devices:

✅ Cisco Catalyst Switches (e.g., Catalyst 2960, 3560, 3750, 9200, 9300, 9500, etc.)
✅ Cisco Nexus Data Center Switches
