TN-GLC-xx-xx and TN-CWDM-SFP-1xx0 Cisco
CompatibleSmall Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
TN-GLC-T
modules are designed to install in any SFP port, allowing for1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX
or 1000Base-LX interfaces to the network through the SFP connector. The TN-GLC-xxx
and TN-CWDM-SFP-1xx0 transceivers are designed for bi-directional serial-optical data
communications such as Gigabit Ethernet or fiber channel at speeds up to 2.125 Gbps.

***Provide 100Base-FX interface when plugged into a gigabit SFP slot on Cisco
catalyst 3750, 3560, and 2970 series switches.
Note: Install simplex or single fiber SFP models in pairs in the same network where
one is the local SFP and the other is the remote SFP.
Installation
Installing the SFP transceiver
To install the SFP module into a network switches media converter, do the
following:
1. Position the module at the installation slot so that the label faces up.
2. Carefully slide the module into the installation slot, aligning it with the internal
installation guides.
Installing copper cables
1. Locate or build 1000Base-T compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the
media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the other device.

Cable Specification
Copper cable (Category 5 -- minimum requirement)
• Gauge = 24 to 22 AWG; Attenuation = 22.0 dB /100m @ 100 MHz
• Straight-through OR crossover cable may be used.
• Shielded twisted-pair (STP) OR unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) may be used
• All pin pairs (1&2, 3&6, 4&5, 7&8) are active in a gigabit network.
• Use only dedicated wire pairs for the active pins; e.g., blue/white &
white/blue,
orange/white & white/orange, etc.
• Do not use flat or silver satin wire.
