SFP-GE-T

The Cisco SFP-GE-T is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver designed to enable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling. It plugs into network devices such as switches and routers to provide reliable 1000BASE-T connections, making it suitable for consolidating network ports or extending existing copper infrastructure.

Often found in enterprise and data center environments, this transceiver module is built for network administrators and IT professionals who need flexible, high-speed connections without replacing existing copper lines. Its hot-swappable nature allows for easy upgrades or replacements without downtime.

Key Features

• Operates over standard Cat 5 or better copper cables up to 100 meters
• Supports IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T standards for Gigabit Ethernet
• Compact mini-GBIC form factor fits a variety of Cisco equipment
• Enables hot swapping to minimize network interruptions
• Low power consumption suitable for dense networking setups

This module is typically deployed in office networks, data centers, or any location where existing copper cabling is in use and Gigabit speeds are required. It offers a practical way to upgrade network capacity without rewiring, supporting efficient use of hardware and infrastructure.
