1G SFP RJ45 copper transceiver

This HP J8177E module provides a copper Gigabit Ethernet link over an SFP slot using a standard RJ-45 connector. It operates at 1 Gbit/s over twisted-pair Cat5e cabling and is intended for data networking and optical network equipment.

Suits switches needing copper uplinks.

Network administrators who need to connect a switch or router to existing copper patch panels will find this transceiver a direct fit. It is not suitable for installations that require optical fibre connectivity or distances beyond the 100 m Cat5e limit.

0.10 km maximum reach over Cat5e

The 0.10 km distance rating defines the maximum link length this transceiver guarantees at 1000Base-T speeds. Any deployment requiring longer runs must use a different media type or additional infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the link is running at 1 Gbit/s after installing the J8177E?

Check the switch port LED or management interface for a 1000Base-T link status and confirm the negotiated speed reads 1 Gbit/s.

What comes in the box with the J8177E and what must I supply?

The transceiver itself is included; you must provide Cat5e twisted-pair patch cables with RJ-45 plugs to reach the 100 m distance.

Which version of this transceiver should I choose for a 100 m copper run?

The J8177E is the 1G SFP RJ45 model rated for 0.10 km over Cat5e, matching a 100 m copper link.
