ACT SFP 1000Base copper RJ45 transceiver coded for Cisco (GLC-T)

The ACT GLC-T is a copper SFP transceiver designed for 1000Base networks. It features an SFP interface and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The module has a metallic housing for durability and is intended to be used where copper RJ45 connectivity is required within SFP slots.

Advantages

ACT SFP(+) RJ45 modules provide consistent quality and compatibility with A-brand equipment, facilitating straightforward integration into mixed-brand networks. They are stocked in large quantities, offer plug-and-play operation, and allow easy addition of copper ports where needed. The metallic design contributes to mechanical robustness and reliable operation in typical networking environments.

How to use

Insert the ACT GLC-T SFP module into a compatible SFP port on your switch or network device and connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to the module’s copper port. The module supports plug-and-play operation; once connected, the device should detect the transceiver and negotiate a 1000Base-T link with the remote endpoint according to standard Ethernet autonegotiation procedures.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded Cat5e or higher cables rated for Gigabit Ethernet for reliable 1000 Mbit/s links, and ensure connected equipment supports SFP-based copper modules. Avoid inserting or removing the module while the host port is carrying live traffic to prevent link interruptions.
