SFP Transceiver Module Cisco GLC-TE Interface Type SFP

The Cisco GLC-TE is an SFP transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications over copper cabling. It provides a 1 Gbps data rate and supports link distances up to 100 meters on standard Cat5e/Cat6 twisted-pair copper cables. The module fits standard SFP ports and is intended for use in switches, routers and other network equipment that accept small form-factor pluggable transceivers.

Advantages

The SFP form factor allows hot-swappable installation and compact port density. The copper interface enables cost-effective short-reach connectivity without the need for fiber optics, while supporting full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet links. Compatibility with standard SFP slots and support for common Ethernet features simplify deployment in data center racks and enterprise network closets.

Suitable for

• Short-reach Gigabit Ethernet links within racks and between adjacent cabinets
• Connecting access switches to aggregation switches over copper
• Network equipment upgrades where fiber is not required or available
• Environments requiring hot-swappable, modular transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Media type: Copper twisted-pair (RJ-45 interface)
• Maximum reach: Up to 100 meters on Cat5e/Cat6
• Duplex mode: Full-duplex support
• Mounting: Hot-pluggable into SFP-compatible ports

How to use

Insert the module into an available SFP port on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place. Connect a Category 5e or Category 6 RJ-45 patch cable between the transceiver and the remote device. Ensure both ends of the link negotiate at 1 Gbps and full-duplex where supported; configure the switch or router port settings if manual speed/duplex configuration is required. Remove the module by pressing the release latch and gently pulling it from the port while the device is powered down or following the equipment vendor's hot-swap guidance.

Ieteikumi par lietošanu

The module should be handled by static-safe procedures and kept free of dust; use protective caps when the transceiver is not installed.
