FAQ
What is the maximum data speed and distance supported by this transceiver?
The AddOn AT-SPTX-AO supports the 10/100/1000Base-T standard, delivering data rates up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) over twisted-pair copper cabling. It is designed to operate reliably at distances up to 100 meters when used with Category 5 or better cable, making it suitable for most office and data center cabling runs.
Is this SFP module compatible with my Allied Telesis switch?
Yes, this transceiver is guaranteed to be 100% compatible with the full range of Allied Telesis products that support SFP uplink modules. It is programmed to emulate the original Allied Telesis AT-SPTX transceiver, ensuring it initializes and performs identically. It is designed for switches with SFP (mini-GBIC) slots that accept copper-based modules.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this transceiver is manufactured in the United States or another designated country, making it eligible for procurement by U.S. federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as educational institutions and other entities bound by TAA sourcing requirements. This ensures regulatory adherence for public sector networking projects.
Can I install or replace this module without powering down the switch?
Yes, the transceiver features a hot-swappable form factor. This allows you to insert or remove the module from a live Allied Telesis switch without needing to power down the equipment, enabling maintenance, upgrades, or reconfiguration with minimal network disruption. Always follow proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling.
What type of cable do I need to use with this RJ-45 SFP?
This transceiver requires standard twisted-pair copper cable with an RJ-45 connector. It is designed to work with Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable to achieve its full 100-meter distance and Gigabit Ethernet performance. The module supports auto-negotiation, so it will automatically configure the optimal speed and duplex setting with the connected device.
Does this transceiver include any performance monitoring features?
The module is built to standard SFP MSA specifications and provides basic digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) capabilities as supported by the host Allied Telesis switch. This can include monitoring of parameters like temperature, voltage, and optical power (where applicable), giving network administrators visibility into module health and performance through the switch's management interface.
