how to install StarTech.com Cisco GLC-T Compatible SFP Module 10 Pack
- Power down devices only if required by your hardware’s hot-swap policy; otherwise, SFP modules are typically hot-swappable.
- Identify an available SFP port on a Cisco switch or compatible router and align the module with the connector, then insert it firmly until it seats with a click.
- Attach a Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the SFP module and run it to your target device (server, switch, or router).
- Power on the device (if necessary) and verify link status via port LEDs or through the management interface; confirm negotiated speed is 1 Gbps.
- Optionally configure your network to ensure proper VLANs, trunking, or QoS settings, depending on your network design; the copper SFP operates like any standard 1GbE link once installed.
