SFP mini-GBIC transceiver module 1GbE

The Cisco GLC‑TE is a robust 1 Gbps SFP transceiver module engineered for copper-based Ethernet networking. Specified for reliable operation over distances up to 100 meters using standard Cat 5e/6 twisted-pair cables, it supports 1000BASE‑T connectivity in a hot-swappable mini-GBIC form factor. Ideal for enterprise, campus, and data center environments, this module integrates seamlessly with Cisco switches and routers, providing a convenient, cost-effective Ethernet uplink option without requiring fiber cabling.

Features :

The Cisco GLC‑TE module follows the 1000BASE‑T IEEE 802.3–2008 specification, offering accurate data transmission at Gigabit speeds over standard copper network infrastructure. Its RJ‑45 connector supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, simplifying deployment by eliminating crossover cable requirements. With enhanced security features like Cisco’s Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), network administrators gain real-time visibility into cable diagnostics, link status, and temperature, ensuring optimized uptime.

Advanced Options :

Thanks to its hot-swappable design, the GLC‑TE can be inserted or removed from compatible Cisco networking hardware without disrupting network operations. It’s a practical choice for straightforward uplink connections, switch stacking scenarios, or temporary deployments where fiber is unavailable or impractical.
