## Long description

The StarTech GLC-TE SFP copper transceiver provides 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet over standard Cat6/Cat5e copper cabling using an RJ45 connector. Designed in an SFP form factor for compatibility with SFP ports in switches, routers and industrial network equipment, this compact silver module supports a line rate of up to 1250 Mbit/s, a maximum link distance of 100 m (328 ft) over copper, low typical power consumption of approximately 1.3 W, and extended temperature operation for use in harsher environments. The module is hot-swappable to allow in-place replacement or upgrades without shutting down compatible networking hardware. This transceiver is intended for deployments that require a copper Gigabit uplink in a small-form-factor SFP slot and is programmatically compatible with Cisco®-style platforms.
Advantages
The module delivers 1 Gbps copper connectivity in an SFP package, saving space in network devices while enabling standard RJ45 cabling use. Extended temperature support and a low power draw make it suitable for industrial and rack-mounted equipment. Hot-swappable design reduces maintenance windows and the compact metal housing offers mechanical robustness. The product’s MTBF rating indicates long-term reliability for continuous network use.
Suitable for
Adding Gigabit RJ45 copper uplinks to switches and routers with SFP slots
Industrial networking equipment operating across extended temperature ranges
Edge devices, firewalls, and small-form-factor installations where space is limited
Short-run Ethernet links over existing Cat6 or Cat5e copper cabling (up to 100 m)

How to use
Insert the SFP copper transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or firewall until it latches. Connect a standard RJ45 terminated Cat6 or Cat5e cable between the transceiver and the remote Ethernet device. Confirm link and speed negotiation on the host device’s interface status and configure network parameters as required. To replace the module, disconnect the cable, release the SFP from the slot according to the host equipment procedure, and insert the replacement while the host is running if the platform supports hot-swap operation.
Usage recommendations
Use Cat6 cabling where possible to maximize signal margin for Gigabit links and maintain distances within 100 m. Verify compatibility and platform settings on the host device before deployment, and follow vendor guidance for electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module. Regularly check connection status and firmware or configuration requirements on managed equipment to ensure consistent 1 Gbps operation.
