FAQ
What is the speed and media type of this SFP transceiver?
This Axiom SFP transceiver operates at Gigabit Ethernet speed (1000BASE-T), providing data rates up to 1 Gbps. It uses copper media, specifically supporting twisted-pair cabling like Category 5e or Cat6 with standard RJ-45 connectors, making it suitable for existing network infrastructure without requiring fiber optics.
Is this transceiver compatible with Cisco equipment?
Yes, the Axiom GLC-T-5PK is designed as a 100% Cisco-compatible SFP transceiver. It is MSA-compliant, meaning it meets multi-source agreement standards for interoperability with Cisco and other MSA-standard network devices. This ensures reliable performance and seamless integration without needing special coding or firmware adjustments.
How many transceivers are included in this pack?
This product is a 5-pack, containing five identical Axiom GLC-T SFP transceivers. The bundled quantity allows for equipping multiple network devices at once, keeping spares for quick replacements, or deploying across several locations in a single purchase, which can be more cost-effective and convenient than buying individual modules.
What are the physical dimensions of the SFP module?
Each transceiver measures 0.54 inches (13.60 mm) in height and width, with a depth of 2.69 inches (68.30 mm). This compact size is standard for SFP modules, enabling high-density installation in network switches or routers without occupying excessive space. The approximate weight is 4 ounces (113.40 grams) per module.
