User Manual
FAQ
What networking equipment is this SFP transceiver compatible with?
This AddOn transceiver is specifically programmed for 100% compatibility with HP J8177C switches and routers. It complies with Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, ensuring interoperability with other MSA-compliant SFP slots, though optimal performance is guaranteed with HP J8177C systems. The module undergoes rigorous testing to match OEM initialization and data-traffic performance.
What cable type and distance does this copper SFP support?
The transceiver supports standard twisted-pair copper cabling (Category 5e or higher) with RJ-45 connectors. It delivers 10/100/1000Base-TX performance up to 100 meters (328 feet), making it suitable for most office and campus network segments without requiring fiber optics. The auto-negotiation feature automatically selects the optimal speed based on connected equipment capabilities.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance indicates this transceiver meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products originating from designated countries. This makes it suitable for federal, state, and institutional purchases where TAA compliance is mandated. The product is manufactured in the United States, supporting domestic sourcing preferences in regulated procurement environments.
Is this SFP transceiver hot-swappable?
Yes, this module features a hot-swappable form factor that allows installation or replacement without powering down your networking equipment. This enables maintenance, upgrades, or reconfiguration with minimal network downtime. The design follows standard SFP specifications for secure insertion and removal while maintaining electrical and data integrity during operation.
What warranty comes with this AddOn SFP transceiver?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this transceiver, backing its quality and reliability.
