Cisco Fiber Optic Module GLC-T Model

Cisco GLC-T fiber optic module specifications and information:

The Cisco GLC-T optical fiber module is one of the interface converter modules (SFP Small Form-Factor Pluggable) that connects your routers and switches to the network with the industrial standard of Cisco and is sold in the network equipment market. Input module / The hot-swappable output is placed in a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot. The optical and copper models can be used in a variety of Cisco products.

The word SFP is an abbreviation of three words Small Form-factor Pluggable and SFP is a type of hardware that can be installed on the device.

In general, a module is a piece of hardware in computer equipment that performs sending and receiving operations at the same time, and in fact, this is the reason why network modules are called Transceivers (transmitter-receiver).

The Cisco GLC-T fiber optic module is a 1000BASE-T SFP interface for copper networks. This module works with Cat5 cables, over link lengths of up to 100 meters (328 feet). Cisco 1000 BASE-T SFP modules support auto-negotiation (10/100/1000 and MDI/MDIX). These SFP modules require an RJ-45 connector.

The Cisco GLC-T optical fiber module weighs 22 grams and performs best at a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius.
