Perle C-1000-SFP Copper Transceiver

The Perle C-1000-SFP is a small form-factor pluggable module that adds a single RJ-45 copper port to any MSA-compliant SFP slot. It supports 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds for transparent copper-to-fiber conversion. Network engineers use it to extend links over existing twisted-pair cabling without replacing switches.

Thermals Noise and Power

The module draws minimal power and operates silently with no moving parts. Heat output remains low during continuous 1000Base-T traffic, allowing dense chassis population without extra cooling. Typical deployment inside a media converter chassis keeps temperatures within the vendor-specified range.

Build Quality and Connectors

A metal housing shields the PCB and meets MSA mechanical tolerances for reliable hot-plug insertion. The RJ-45 jack uses standard Category 5e or better patch cords for 100-metre copper runs. Compatibility with Perle, Cisco and other MSA SFPs gives flexibility when choosing the fiber side of the link.

Questions about this item

How is the Perle 05051180 SFP transceiver installed in a chassis, and what step is often missed?

Slide the module into an empty SFP slot of a high-density Perle Media Converter Chassis until it clicks; the step people miss is confirming the latch is fully engaged before connecting the RJ-45 cable.

What maintenance or replacement will the Perle C-1000-SFP need over time?

The RJ-45 port and internal optics require no scheduled maintenance; replacement is only needed if the transceiver fails or if network upgrades demand a different fiber type or speed.

What limit appears first on the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 link during sustained heavy traffic?

The copper RJ-45 interface caps throughput at 1000 Mbps, so sustained loads exceeding that rate will hit the port's maximum line speed before any other constraint.
