The Fiber Optical 1000BaseT Copper SFP GLCSFPT is a copper based Small Formfactor Pluggable transceiver that provides 1000 Mbps Ethernet over an RJ45 copper interface. Designed for SFP ports on switches and routers that accept 1000BASET modules, it enables flexible, cost effective upgrades without changing existing fiber infrastructure. Key benefits Leverages existing copper cabling to deliver 1 Gbps Ethernet over RJ45 connections. Flexible upgrade path for devices with SFP ports, enabling faster networks without replacing switches. Hotswappable design minimizes downtime and simplifies maintenance. Broad compatibility with SFP ports that support 1000BASET copper modules, including common enterprise networking hardware. Key attributes Functionality: 1000BASET copper SFP transceiver with RJ45 interface. Compatibility: Intended for SFP slots that accept 1000BASET copper modules (GLCSFPT type). Size and form factor: Standard SFP form factor; hotswappable. Material and construction: Metal housing for durability and reliable operation. Performance: 1 Gbps data rate in full duplex; operates over copper twistedpair cabling. Cabling requirements: Uses Cat5e or better cabling; rated for up to 100 meters on 1000BASET links. Use cases Upgrading an existing SFPenabled switch or router to 1 Gbps connectivity by inserting a GLCSFPT module and using existing Cat5e/6 copper runs. Connecting a server, NAS, or workstation with an RJ45 interface to a 1 Gbps switch port, without adding fiber cabling. Extending copper network segments in offices or data centers where fiber deployment is impractical or unnecessary, enabling seamless integration with copper Ethernet cabling. Notes Ensure the host device supports 1000BASET SFP copper modules and that the SFP port is compatible with GLCSFPT style transceivers. This module is intended for 1000BASET copper links and is not a fiber transceiver.
