Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What devices is this Gigabit RJ45 SFP Media Converter compatible with?
A: This SFP-GE-T / GLC-T module is compatible with any switch, router, or network device featuring a standard SFP port that supports 1000BASE-T copper operation — including Juniper Networks and Cisco equipment. Always verify your device's SFP port supports copper (1000BASE-T) modules before purchasing.
Q: What type of cable does this SFP RJ45 module use?
A: It connects via a standard RJ45 port using Cat5e or Cat6 UTP Ethernet cable, supporting Gigabit speeds over distances of up to 100 metres — ideal for server rooms, network racks, and structured cabling environments.
Q: Is the Gigabit RJ45 SFP Media Converter plug-and-play?
A: Yes. This is a hot-swappable, plug-and-play module. Simply insert it into a compatible SFP port, connect your RJ45 Ethernet cable, and your device should recognise it automatically with no additional drivers or configuration needed.
Q: What is the difference between SFP-GE-T and GLC-T?
A: Both SFP-GE-T and GLC-T refer to the same type of Gigabit RJ45 copper SFP transceiver module. SFP-GE-T is the Juniper Networks part designation, while GLC-T is the equivalent Cisco designation. This module is cross-compatible with equipment using either naming convention.
