The Cisco GLC-TE is a 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver with an RJ-45 copper port. It converts a Gigabit SFP slot to a copper Ethernet interface over Cat 5 UTP cabling up to 100 m, which is useful where a switch or router SFP port has to connect to copper cabling rather than fiber.
No. The GLC-TE is hot-swappable and is recognised as a copper Gigabit interface by the host platform. Confirm the platform supports 1000BASE-T SFP modules before ordering.
The GLC-TE reaches 100 m over Cat 5 UTP over Copper (RJ-45), while the GLC-SX-MMD reaches 550 m on OM2 / 1 km on OM4 over Multimode fiber (MMF). Pick the shortest reach that covers the link distance — going longer than needed costs more and adds optical budget margin you will not use.
