Product Features
Technical Overview
The GLC-T-RGD-AX transceiver implements the 1000BASE-T standard, providing a single RJ45 port that supports Category 5e or better twisted pair cabling. This copper-based approach offers a cost-effective alternative to fiber SFP modules while maintaining full Gigabit Ethernet performance across distances up to 100 meters.
The module operates as a standard SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver, also known as mini-GBIC, with hot-swappable capability for easy installation and replacement. The 1000Base-T technology enables data transmission at ten times the speed of traditional Fast Ethernet connections, significantly improving network throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications.
