1000BASE-T RJ45 SFP transceiver

The Brute Networks FG-TRAN-GC is a 1000BASE-T RJ45 SFP transceiver built for network engineers who need a cost-effective way to add or replace copper uplinks on Fortinet switches and routers. It operates at 1 Gbps over standard twisted-pair cabling up to 100 m and is coded for full Fortinet compatibility.

Sustained throughput and thermal limits

The module is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0 to 70 °C, allowing continuous line-rate traffic without thermal throttling in typical wiring-closet environments. Status LEDs show power, link activity, full-duplex state and speed so operators can verify sustained performance at a glance.

Copper reach and interface constraints

The 100 m reach matches the 1000BASE-T standard limit on Category 5e or better cable, so longer runs require fiber transceivers instead. The SFP form factor fits any MSA-compliant cage, but the RJ45 connector means no LC fiber patching and no digital diagnostic monitoring data is exposed.

Questions about this item

Will the FG-TRAN-GC module run hot inside a fully loaded switch all day?

The transceiver is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0 to 70 °C, so it handles continuous duty inside a populated chassis without additional cooling.

What port type must my switch or router provide for this SFP transceiver?

You need an available SFP slot that accepts a 1000BASE-T RJ45 module; the FG-TRAN-GC plugs directly into that cage and presents a standard copper jack.

Can I mix this Brute Networks transceiver with original Fortinet optics in the same switch?

Yes, the module is coded for 100 % Fortinet compatibility and meets MSA standards, so it initializes and runs alongside OEM transceivers without errors.
