Core Product Positioning
The Cisco GLC-TE is a hot‑swappable SFP copper transceiver compliant with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE‑T standard. It converts the SFP electrical interface to an RJ‑45 port to deliver Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5e/6 twisted pair cables. Compared with commercial-grade GLC-T, GLC-TE supports an extended temperature range, making it suitable for rugged industrial switches, outdoor cabinets and equipment rooms with wide temperature fluctuations. It supports auto‑negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps and automatic MDI/MDI‑X crossover detection.
