GLC-TE Description
The GLC-TE is a Cisco 1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver for adding RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports to switches and routers that have SFP slots. The module auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 speeds, runs up to 100 m over Category 5 UTP or better, and operates from -5 to 85°C at up to 1 W. The module plugs into Cisco Gigabit Ethernet ports and slots and has no Digital Optical Monitoring.

Application Scenarios
An aggregation switch with only SFP cages free can reach a copper-only firewall or server in the next room, up to 100 m away over Category 5 cable.
In an unheated telecom cabinet, an open SFP slot carries an RJ-45 link to a building controller, with the module rated for operation from -5 to 85°C.

GLC-TE and GLC-T are both 1000BASE-T copper SFPs with an RJ-45 connector and 100 m of Category 5 UTP reach, and the difference is temperature: GLC-TE is rated extended, -5 to 85°C, while GLC-T is commercial, 0 to 70°C, so cabinets that stay inside 0 to 70°C can take GLC-T. Sites where the ambient reaches toward -40°C need GLC-T-RGD, the industrial-rated 1000BASE-T SFP. SFP-GE-T keeps the extended rating and is the Cisco NEBS 3 ESD line item, so projects that specify NEBS 3 ESD order SFP-GE-T instead of GLC-TE.
