This high-performance 1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver is engineered to provide flexible Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard copper cabling infrastructure. Supporting both Cat5e and Cat6 UTP cables, this module delivers reliable 1 Gbps performance up to 100 meters, making it ideal for connecting devices in the same building or rack where fiber deployment is impractical or unnecessary.

The copper SFP offers a cost-effective alternative to fiber optics for short-range connections, eliminating the need for media converters while maintaining full Gigabit speeds. This module is perfect for connecting IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other network devices directly to fiber-capable switch ports using existing copper infrastructure.

Fully compatible with Cisco switches and MSA (uncoded) standards, this transceiver serves as a direct replacement for Cisco's GLC-T module, offering exceptional value without compromising performance or reliability. The hot-pluggable design allows for easy installation and replacement without network downtime.

Important Note: This is a copper RJ45 transceiver, not a fiber optic module. It uses standard Ethernet copper cabling (Cat5e/Cat6) and connects via an RJ45 connector. The maximum distance is limited to 100 meters per IEEE 802.3ab specifications.
