Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for data networking applications requiring copper connectivity within 100 meters, this SFP transceiver is commonly deployed in enterprise networks, data centers, and campus environments. It connects switches, routers, and servers using standard Category 5e/6/6a cabling, providing a straightforward upgrade path to Gigabit Ethernet.
Use cases include linking Aruba Networks® access switches to distribution layers, extending network segments within wiring closets, and connecting network appliances that lack built-in copper ports. The module supports auto-negotiation, making it suitable for mixed-speed environments where legacy 10/100 Mbps devices coexist with Gigabit equipment.
Enterprise Network Expansion
Extend Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling between Aruba switches and end devices, leveraging existing infrastructure without fiber overhaul.
Data Center Interconnect
Connect servers and storage devices within racks using short-reach copper links, reducing latency and simplifying cable management.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP transceiver?
This SFP transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) using 1000Base-T network technology. It delivers full Gigabit Ethernet performance over copper cabling, providing up to 10x faster throughput than standard 100 Mbps Ethernet connections.
What types of Aruba Networks equipment is this transceiver compatible with?
The transceiver is guaranteed 100% compatible with a wide range of Aruba Networks® switches and controllers, including the 3000 Controller Series, 600 Controller Series, 6000 Mobility Controller, S2500 and S3500 Mobility Access Switches (e.g., S2500-24P, S3500-48P), and 7210, 7220, and 7240 Mobility Controllers. It has been programmed and tested to initialize and perform identically with these platforms.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this transceiver meets regulatory requirements for procurement by U.S. government agencies and other public-sector entities. It ensures the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in a designated country, making it suitable for contracts that mandate TAA adherence.
How far can this copper SFP transceiver transmit data?
This copper SFP transceiver supports data transmission up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) over standard twisted-pair cabling, such as Category 5e, 6, or 6a. This reach is typical for 1000Base-T Ethernet and is sufficient for most intra-building and data center networking applications.
Does this SFP module support auto-negotiation?
Yes, this SFP module fully supports 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation. This feature allows the transceiver to automatically detect and configure the optimal speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps) and duplex mode with the connected device, ensuring compatibility in mixed-speed network environments without manual configuration.
What warranty is offered with this transceiver?
This transceiver comes with a 3-year limited warranty, backed by the manufacturer's commitment to quality and reliability. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing assurance for long-term deployment in critical networking infrastructure.
