Product Features
Technical Overview
These transceivers operate as Gigabit Ethernet media converters, translating electrical signals between the SFP interface and RJ-45 twisted pair connections. They support standard Category 5e or higher cabling, with a maximum reach of 100 meters per segment, which aligns with typical Ethernet cabling standards for office and data center environments.
The modules are MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of Cisco and other vendor equipment that adheres to the SFP specification. This compliance guarantees reliable performance and reduces compatibility concerns during network upgrades or expansions.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom GLC-T-10PK transceivers offer several practical benefits for network administrators and IT teams. Their compatibility with Cisco systems allows for seamless integration into existing deployments, while the 10-pack format provides cost savings and convenience for large-scale installations or spare inventory.
Cost-Effective Connectivity
Utilize existing twisted pair cabling infrastructure instead of investing in fiber optics, reducing material and installation costs for Gigabit Ethernet upgrades.
- Supports standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables
- Eliminates need for fiber media converters
Flexible Deployment
The compact SFP form factor enables easy installation in any compatible switch or router slot, supporting both new deployments and retrofits without requiring additional rack space.
- Hot-swappable design
- Standard SFP dimensions
Deployment / Use Cases
These transceivers are particularly valuable in environments where extending Gigabit Ethernet over copper is preferred or necessary. Common applications include connecting network switches to servers, workstations, or other edge devices within office buildings, educational campuses, or small to medium-sized data centers.
The 10-pack is ideal for bulk deployments, such as equipping multiple switch ports across a network closet or preparing spares for quick replacement during maintenance. They also serve well in mixed-media networks where certain segments require copper connectivity while others use fiber, allowing administrators to standardize on SFP slots across their infrastructure.
Physical Profile
Each transceiver measures 0.54" (13.60 mm) in height and width, with a depth of 2.69" (68.30 mm), conforming to the standard SFP form factor. This compact size ensures compatibility with high-density switch configurations, allowing multiple modules to be installed side-by-side without interference. The lightweight design at approximately 8 oz (226.80 g) per module minimizes load on network equipment and simplifies handling during installation.

FAQ
What is the maximum cable distance supported by these transceivers?
These 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers support a maximum reach of 100 meters when used with standard Category 5e or higher twisted pair cabling. This distance aligns with typical Ethernet specifications for copper connections, making them suitable for most office and data center deployments without requiring signal boosters or repeaters.
Are these transceivers compatible with non-Cisco network equipment?
Yes, the Axiom GLC-T-10PK transceivers are MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, which ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment from various vendors that adhere to the SFP specification. While marketed for Cisco compatibility, they can be used in any device with a standard SFP slot that supports 1000BASE-T copper modules, though always verify specific device compatibility before deployment.
What type of cables should I use with these RJ-45 transceivers?
These transceivers require standard twisted pair Ethernet cables, specifically Category 5e, Category 6, or higher grades. They support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over four pairs of wires, so ensure your cables are properly terminated with RJ-45 connectors and meet the required specifications for data integrity and performance up to 100 meters.
Can I use these transceivers in a fiber optic network?
No, these are copper transceivers designed for RJ-45 twisted pair connections only. They convert electrical signals within the SFP interface to copper media, so they cannot be used with fiber optic cables. For fiber networks, you would need SFP transceivers with LC, SC, or other fiber connectors that match your cable type and distance requirements.
