Cisco Transceiver Types Offered by Ingellen

This article is mainly written to introduce types of Cisco transceivers or Cisco compatible transceivers in the market, at the beginning, let confirm everyone know what Cisco stands for.
Cisco System, Inc. or Cisco, is the world leader in fiber optic networking that transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate. Established in 1984, it has become the major provider of Internet solutions, his equipment and software products are widely used for the computer network systems connections.
Cisco transceivers is one of the popular products in the fiber optic transmission process, so does the Cisco compatible transceiver modules because transceivers need to fully compatible with the related router or switches to work formally if they are all belongs to Cisco brand. This article will introduce you type of Cisco transceivers.
Cisco transceivers are classified by the package forms, from the earliest, there are 1x9, SFF, GBIC, SFP, X2, XENPAK, SFP+, XFP Currently, the most popular types in the applications is the later six, which are Cisco SFP, Cisco GBIC, 10G Cisco transceivers SFP+, XENPAK, XFP, and X2.
Cisco GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, connecting the port with the network. It adopt SC connector type, which is a progress versus the previous 1x9 and SFF.
Cisco Xenpak is with SC connector, and is one of the early developed 10Gbps fiber optic transceivers developed by Cisco, based on the Xenpak Multi-source Agreement (MSA) which was instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems.
Cisco X2 is a hot swappable products designed for 10Gbps applications. It supports a wide range of 10Gbps standards, include the 10Gbps Ethernet, OC192/STM-6 SONET/SDH, OC192 VSR and 10G Fibre Channel.
Cisco SFP+, also called Cisco SFP plus, is another 10Gigabit Ethernet transceivers, used to link the equipment to the fiber optic networks. Cisco SFP+ is currently the smallest size 10G transceivers, with much lighter weight and lower power consumptions compared with the formaer 10G X2, and Xenpak. Typical Cisco SFP+ modules includes SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, etc.
Cisco XFP are hot swappable I/O devices to plugs in the ports or slots on the 10G ports and link these ports to optical fiber networks. It is also used for 10Gigabit Ethernet and related 10G applications. XFP MSA is a multi source agreement by various manufacturers in this industry. Typical Cisco XFP are XFP-10G-MM-SR, XFP-10GB-SR, XFP-10GB-LR, etc.
The last is Let’s see Cisco SFP transceiver, or say Cisco Gigabit Ethernet SFP, the upgraded version of GBIC transceiver, are Small Form-Factor Pluggable for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and several other communications. Typical Cisco optical transceiver modules are like GLC-SX-MM, the Cisco 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet SFP, while for copper SFP is GLC-T, Cisco GLC-T SFP, it also can be called Cisco 1000base-T SFP, which works with Category 5 wiring for max 100 meters span, which is compliant to 1000Base-T standards for Gigabit Ethernet.
Ingellen is a leading manufacturer or supplier of Cisco GLC-T and other Cisco SFP or more Cisco compatible transceivers. We have large quality of Cisco compatible transceivers in stock and can ship them to you within 245 hours. All of our Cisco transceivers are tested strictly before shipment. And they will arrive in perfect physical and working condition at your hands. You can buy from us with the cheapest price and a lifetime warranty.

Basics of the Cisco GLC-T SFP Modules

In the fiber network, high speed connection is always needed to some type of equipment. As most high speed switches provide small form-factor GBIC slots, a variety of SFP transceivers are needed to handle with. The SFP Gigabit interface converter was developed by Cisco as the current standard. The Cisco compatible transceivers like Cisco GLC-T are used to plug into a Gigable Ethernet port or slot to link the port with the network, allowing for excellent data transmission rates between your Cisco equipments.

GLC-T SFP is a hot pluggable module with RJ45 interface, it is commonly used with 1000Base-T application, when a GLC-T transceiver is plugged into a standard SFP slot, the equipment generally auto detects the device and the hardware will work immediately when the media is connected. This 1000Base-T SFP transceiver supports1000 Mbps full duplex data-links with 5-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) signals. All four pairs in the cable are used with symbol rate at 250Mbps on each pair. This GLC-T SFP is compliant to IEEE 802.3 and its dimension is 0.6 in x 2.8 in x 0.6 in.

Cisco SFP or Cisco compatible SPT is extremely preferred when shopping GBIC modules to make sure they are completely compatible with Cisco equipment. Many honest fiber optic manufacturers like Ingellen Technology Co. provide ranges of Cisco compatible SFP transceivers, The Cisco GLC-T SFPs are guaranteed to be 100% compatible with Cisco equipment and stable performance. The Cisco compatible GLC-T SFPs are widely used for the 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet over Cat 5 cable application and share the common features as below:

Up to 1.25Gb/s bi-directional data links
Hot-pluggable SFP footprint
Extended case temperature range (0°C to +85°C)
Fully metallic enclosure for low EMI
Low power dissipation (1.05 W typical)
Compact RJ-45 connector assembly
Access to physical layer IC via 2-wire serial bus
1000 BASE-T operation in host systems with SERDES interface
10/100/1000Mbps compliant in host systems with SGMII interface

Ingellen, among the reliable Cisco compatible transceivers, has a large quantity of Cisco GLC-T SFP transceivers in stock and ready to ship to you within 24 hours. All of our GLC-T transceivers are tested in-house prior to shipping to insure that they will arrive in perfect physical and working condition. We guarantee the GLC-T transceivers with high performance, cost effective and compliant with the Gigabit Ethernet and 1000- BASE-T standards to work well with your Cisco equipments.
