1Gbps Copper SFP Transceiver

The Brute Networks E1MG-TX is a 1000BASE-T SFP module that adds a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port to compatible switches and routers. It targets network engineers who need copper connectivity over existing fibre slots without replacing the host device. The module operates at commercial temperatures from 0 to 70 °C and weighs approximately 1 oz.

Hot-Plug Mini-GBIC Form Factor

The plug-in mini-GBIC design allows insertion or removal while the host system remains powered, simplifying maintenance and upgrades. A single RJ45 jack supports standard Cat5e or Cat6 patch cords up to 100 m, and front-panel LEDs show power, link activity, full-duplex status and speed for immediate visual diagnostics.

Passive Cooling and Low Power Draw

With no moving parts the transceiver runs silently and relies on the host chassis airflow, keeping acoustic impact at zero. Power consumption stays within typical SFP limits so the module adds minimal load to the switch power budget. The extended 0 to 70 °C operating range ensures stable performance in standard wiring closets and data-centre environments.
