Copper SFP for 1 Gbps RJ45 links

This transceiver provides a single RJ45 port that negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps over standard twisted-pair copper. It is built to the SFP multi-source agreement and coded for full Aruba Networks compatibility. Network engineers use it to add copper uplinks to switches that only accept SFP modules.

Suits copper uplinks in Aruba switches

The module operates from 0 to 70 C and draws power directly from the host port, so it fits existing switch bays without extra cabling. It is not intended for fibre links, for reaches beyond 100 m or for platforms that require digital diagnostic monitoring.

100 m reach over Cat5e or better

The 1000BASE-T interface guarantees a 100 m link when used with Cat5e or higher-grade cable. This distance limit is the decisive specification when planning cabinet-to-cabinet or floor-to-floor copper runs.

Questions about this item

What type of switch port is required to install this SFP transceiver?

The module fits any standard SFP slot that accepts 10/100/1000BASE-T copper transceivers and uses an RJ45 connector for the network cable.

Will this transceiver negotiate down to 10 or 100 Mbps if the connected device only supports slower speeds?

Yes, the 10/100/1000BASE-T interface auto-negotiates to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps depending on the link partner.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the link is operating at gigabit speed and full duplex?

The Speed LED lights for 1000 Mbps and the Full-Duplex LED lights when the link is running in full-duplex mode.
