TEG-MGBRJ SFP Copper Module

The TRENDnet TEG-MGBRJ is an SFP transceiver that converts an SFP port to a 1000BASE-T RJ-45 connection. It supports twisted-pair copper cabling for Gigabit Ethernet links up to 100 metres. The module is hot-pluggable and MSA compliant for broad switch compatibility. It operates at a data rate of 1.25 Gbps with a low power draw of 1.5W.

Network Teams Extending Switch Ports

This module suits administrators adding copper Gigabit links to SFP-equipped switches or routers in campus or enterprise racks. It works within a 0 to 70 degree Celsius range and up to 95 percent non-condensing humidity. Buyers needing fibre uplink distances beyond 100 metres or 10 Gigabit speeds should select a different transceiver type.

100m RJ-45 Reach Decides Fit

The 100 metre maximum distance over Cat5e or better copper cable is the specification that determines whether this transceiver fits the link. Longer runs require fibre SFP modules instead. The RJ-45 interface connects directly to standard patch cords without additional adapters. IEEE 802.3ab compliance ensures interoperability with compliant Gigabit Ethernet equipment.

Questions about this item

What SFP slot size does the TEG-MGBRJ need to fit in a switch?

The module follows the Small Form-Factor Pluggable MSA dimensions of 0.50" x 2.67" x 0.50" and weighs 0.05 lb, so it fits any standard SFP cage.

What step is often missed when hot-plugging this transceiver into a live port?

Insert the module until the latch clicks, then seat the RJ-45 cable fully; the link LEDs will not show activity until both the SFP and the copper cable are locked in.

When should the TEG-MGBRJ be replaced if it runs continuously at the top of its temperature range?

Operating at 70 °C (158 °F) with 95 % non-condensing humidity and 1.5 W draw, the unit should be swapped once link errors or port resets appear, as no serviceable parts exist inside.
