Cisco GLC‑TE 1000BASE‑T SFP Transceiver Module
The Cisco GLC‑TE is a 1000BASE‑T SFP transceiver module that enables Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard twisted‑pair copper cabling (Cat‑5 or better) in Cisco modular switches, routers, and aggregation devices. Its hot‑swappable form factor and auto‑negotiation features allow network administrators to easily add copper uplinks or access ports without dedicating fixed RJ‑45 interfaces. Ideal for enterprise, campus, and datacenter networks, the GLC‑TE delivers reliable 1 Gbps performance and simplifies media flexibility in mixed fiber/copper environments.
The Cisco GLC‑TE is a Cisco‑branded Small Form‑Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed to add copper Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to compatible Cisco networking platforms. Supporting 1000BASE‑T operation over standard Cat‑5 or better twisted‑pair copper cabling, this module enables flexible uplink and network access options without the need for dedicated switch ports. Its hot‑swappable SFP footprint makes it ideal for modular switches, routers, and aggregation devices where port flexibility and media conversion are required.
Built to Cisco’s quality standards, the GLC‑TE provides reliable 1 Gbps connectivity for enterprise, campus, and datacenter environments. It supports auto‑negotiation and is backward compatible with existing Ethernet infrastructure, allowing for seamless integration into mixed environments where fiber and copper media coexist. This transceiver simplifies deployments by offering familiar RJ‑45 connectivity in a compact SFP form factor, making it a versatile choice for uplinks, stacking interconnects, or linking network segments over existing copper cabling.
