Tecowin GLC-T-C Cisco Compatible 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver, RJ-45, 1Gbps, 100m

Network administrators deploying Gigabit Ethernet over existing copper cabling in enterprise switches and routers use the Tecowin GLC-T-C SFP transceiver. It converts an SFP slot to a 1000BASE-T RJ-45 interface, supporting distances up to 100 meters on Cat5e or better twisted-pair cable. The module is compatible with Cisco and other MSA-compliant devices, making it a practical choice for mixed-vendor environments.

Why choose it

The GLC-T-C offers a cost-effective way to add copper Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to SFP-based equipment. It eliminates the need for fiber cabling when short-distance copper links are sufficient, and its hot-swappable design allows for quick installation without network downtime.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting switches to servers or workstations over existing Cat5e/Cat6 cabling
• Extending network reach in data centers and enterprise LANs
• Replacing failed copper SFP modules in Cisco and compatible devices

Good to know

The module supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring, enabling real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power. It is compliant with the IEEE 802.3ab standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper, ensuring interoperability with standard networking equipment.
