Lanview SFP RJ-45 Copper Network Transceiver Module, Compatible with Cisco GLC-T, 1000 Mbit/s, 100 m, Updated firmware

Lanview SFP RJ-45 copper network transceiver module compatible with Cisco GLC-T provides a compact SFP-form-factor solution for adding or replacing copper Gigabit Ethernet ports. It supports 1000 Mbit/s over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling to a distance of up to 100 m and includes updated firmware for improved interoperability with network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP RJ-45 module is designed to be plug-and-play with Cisco GLC-T-compatible interfaces, offering a small footprint and easy installation in compatible SFP slots. The updated firmware increases compatibility across different switch and router models and helps reduce interoperability issues when integrating with existing network hardware.

Suitable for

• Adding copper Gigabit Ethernet ports to switches or routers with SFP slots
• Replacing existing GLC-T modules for cost-effective hardware maintenance
• Short-distance copper connections in data centers, wiring closets, and office networks (up to 100 m)

When it may not be suitable

This transceiver is intended for copper-based Ethernet links and is not appropriate for fiber-optic connections. It only supports link lengths up to 100 metres over copper and cannot replace fiber modules for longer-distance or fiber-only infrastructures.

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ-45 (copper)
• Form factor: SFP (MSA-compatible)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Maximum cable distance: 100 m over Cat5e/Cat6
• Firmware: updated for improved interoperability

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch or router while the device is powered according to the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations. Connect a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the module and verify link status through the host device management interface. If needed, consult the network equipment documentation to confirm compatibility and view link diagnostics.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the host switch or router supports third-party or Cisco-compatible SFP modules
• Confirm you require a copper RJ-45 connection rather than an optical/fiber transceiver
• Check cable category (Cat5e or Cat6) and distance requirements to stay within the 100 m limit

Usage recommendations

Use the Lanview SFP RJ-45 module for short-range copper Gigabit links in mixed vendor environments, and verify updated firmware compatibility with your specific switch model before large-scale deployment.
