GLC-TE Cisco Copper SFP Module

The Cisco GLC-TE is a 1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver module, providing Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard copper (Cat5e/Cat6) cabling via an RJ-45 connector. As the official extended-temperature successor to the End-of-Sale GLC-T (discontinued June 2017), this hot-swappable module delivers identical 1000BASE-T performance while supporting a significantly wider industrial operating temperature range, making it well-suited for enterprise access networks, campus environments, and telecom/data center deployments requiring copper connectivity through an SFP interface.

Key Features & Benefits

  • GLC-T Replacement/Successor: Officially designated by Cisco as the replacement for the discontinued GLC-T, providing a direct upgrade path for existing GLC-T-equipped deployments.
  • Extended Temperature Range: Rated for -40°C to 85°C operation, significantly wider than the original GLC-T's commercial 0°C to 70°C range, supporting industrial and outdoor-adjacent environments.
  • 1000BASE-T Standard Compliance: Complies with IEEE 802.3ab, supporting Gigabit Ethernet transmission over twisted-pair copper cabling up to 100m.
  • Auto-Negotiation with MDI/MDIX: Supports 10/100/1000 auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDIX detection, simplifying cabling and reducing configuration errors.
  • Low Power Consumption: Rated at a maximum of 1.2W power consumption, allowing for prolonged service life and energy-efficient operation.
  • Broad Cisco Platform Compatibility: Widely supported across Cisco Catalyst switches (including 2970/3560/3750 series) and other Cisco networking equipment with SFP slots.
