User Manual
FAQ
What type of SFP module is the TN-GLC-T-MG?
The TN-GLC-T-MG is a Cisco-compatible SFP (mini-GBIC) module with an RJ-45 copper connector. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair cable, making it a copper transceiver rather than an optical module. This design allows it to work with standard network cabling without requiring fiber optic infrastructure.
What network speeds does this SFP module support?
This module supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet speeds through auto-negotiation. It's fully compliant with 10/100/1000Base-T standards, allowing it to automatically determine the optimal speed with connected devices while maintaining backward compatibility with older Fast Ethernet equipment.
What is the maximum transmission distance for this copper SFP?
The maximum supported distance is 0.10 kilometers (0.06 miles) over twisted pair cable. This reach accommodates most intra-building network connections, including connections between floors, across office spaces, or within data center environments where copper cabling is already installed.
Is this SFP module compatible with Cisco equipment?
Yes, this is a Cisco-compatible SFP module designed to work with Cisco switches, routers, and other network equipment that accepts standard SFP transceivers. It provides a cost-effective alternative to manufacturer-branded modules while maintaining performance and reliability for data networking applications.
What type of cable does this SFP module require?
This module requires standard twisted pair copper cable, typically Cat5e, Cat6, or higher categories. It uses an RJ-45 connector interface, which is the same connector type found on most Ethernet cables, making it compatible with existing network cabling infrastructure without requiring special adapters or converters.
What environmental standards does this product meet?
The module meets multiple environmental compliance standards including REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive). It's also TAA compliant for government procurement and carries a lifetime limited warranty for long-term reliability.
