Catalyst 3650 / 3850 Series: WS-C3650-24TS, WS-C3850-48T
Catalyst 9200 / 9300 Series: C9200-24T, C9300-48T, C9300L-24T-4G
Catalyst 9500 Series: C9500-24Q, C9500-40X
Cisco ISR 4000 Series: ISR 4321, ISR 4331, ISR 4431, ISR 4451
Cisco ISR 1000 Series: C1111-8P, C1117-4P
WAN Interface Cards: EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU, HWIC-1GE-SFP
LAN Expansion over Copper: Seamlessly extends Gigabit LAN networks to adjacent wiring closets or servers using cost-effective Cat5e/Cat6 cables instead of fiber.
Data Center Top-of-Rack (ToR) Switching: Interconnecting switches, firewalls, and storage area networks (SANs) over short distances (under 100m) inside server racks.
Legacy Device Integration: Utilizing the auto-negotiating feature to safely connect older Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) edge hardware directly to newer 1G fiber-capable core switch ports.
| Cisco Compatible | GLC-TA | Vendor Name | HYTOPTODEVICE |

Q1: What is the difference between GLC-TA and GLC-TE?
A1: The primary difference is the operating temperature. GLC-TA is typically a standard commercial grade (0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F)), while GLC-TE supports an Extended Temperature range (-5 to 85°C (23 to 185°F)). For most indoor office environments, they are interchangeable.
Q2: Does this module support 10/100Mbps speeds?
A2: Yes, the GLC-TA features auto-negotiation, allowing it to work with 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps legacy copper devices.
Q3: Can I use a standard Cat6 cable with this?
A3: Absolutely. It works perfectly with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables.
Q4: what is the difference between GLC-T and GLC-TA?
A4: GLC-T and GLC-TA are both Cisco SFP to RJ45 copper modules, but the key difference lies in speed versatility. The GLC-T is a legacy module that primarily supports a fixed 1000Mbps (Gigabit only) connection. In contrast, the GLC-TA is a modern replacement that supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation, allowing it to connect to older 10Mbps or 100Mbps legacy devices as well as Gigabit ones.
Q5:Is this module hot-swappable?
A5: Yes. You can insert or remove the GLC-TA module into an active SFP slot without shutting down or rebooting your host switch or router.
