The Cisco GLC-T is a new, standard 1000BASE-T Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver, providing a seamless solution for integrating copper-based Gigabit Ethernet into your network switches and routers. This module allows you to utilize existing Category 5, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling for high-speed 1 Gbps links, eliminating the need for expensive fiber runs over short distances. It is designed for links up to 100 meters (328 feet), making it perfect for connecting switches to servers, workstations, or network devices within the same wiring closet or building.

As a new, genuine Cisco module, the GLC-T guarantees maximum reliability and comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring it meets all original performance specifications. This unit supports 10/100/1000 auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover, simplifying installation and ensuring compatibility with various connected devices. The SFP form factor is hot-swappable, which allows for effortless deployment or replacement without requiring the network to be shut down, thus maximizing network uptime.

The GLC-T is essential for IT professionals who need flexible media options, offering the ability to use copper on a port-by-port basis alongside fiber SFP modules in the same device. Its robust metallic enclosure ensures low electromagnetic interference (EMI) and stable performance within the commercial operating temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius. Invest in a new GLC-T to extend your Gigabit Ethernet connectivity affordably using your current copper infrastructure.
