Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for data networking and optical network applications where extending copper connectivity from an SFP port is required. This transceiver is commonly deployed to connect switches to servers, workstations, or other network devices over existing structured cabling.
Specific use cases include populating SFP slots in HP ProCurve 2510, 3500, 4100gl, 4200vl, 5400zl, 6200yl, 8100fl, 8200zl, and 9300m series switches to provide additional RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It serves as a practical solution for avoiding fiber optic costs when distances under 100 meters are sufficient.
Switch Uplink / Downlink
Connect switch SFP ports to copper-based network segments, such as to a server farm or desktop aggregation switch, using standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.
Media Conversion Extension
Effectively extend a copper link from a media converter or switch port where direct RJ-45 connectivity is not natively available, maintaining Gigabit speeds.
Physical Profile
The compact SFP form factor measures 0.30" (7.62 mm) in height, 0.50" (12.70 mm) in width, and 2.20" (55.88 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 2.40 oz (68.04 g). This small footprint allows high-density installation in switch SFP cages without obstructing adjacent ports or modules.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum distance this SFP transceiver supports over copper?
This copper SFP transceiver supports a maximum reach of 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) when used with standard Category 5 or better twisted-pair cabling. This distance is typical for 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet over copper, making it suitable for most intra-building and data center connections.
Is this transceiver compatible with my HP ProCurve switch?
Yes, this AddOn transceiver is specifically programmed and tested to be 100% compatible with a wide range of HP ProCurve switch series, including the 2510/E2510, 3500/E3500, 4100gl, 4200vl, 5400zl, 6200yl, 8100fl, 8200zl, and 9300m series. It is designed as a direct replacement for the HP J8177B module and will initialize and perform identically.
Does this module support auto-negotiation of speed?
Yes, the transceiver fully supports 10/100/1000Base-TX auto-negotiation. This allows it to automatically detect and configure the optimal data rate (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) with the connected device, simplifying deployment and ensuring compatibility with various network equipment.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this transceiver meets the sourcing and manufacturing requirements for sale to U.S. government agencies and other entities bound by federal acquisition regulations. It ensures the product is considered compliant for use in government contracts and regulated procurement scenarios.
Can I hot-swap this SFP module while the switch is powered on?
Yes, this transceiver features a hot-swappable form factor, allowing you to install or remove it from a compatible switch's SFP cage without powering down the switch or disrupting other network operations. This design supports maintenance and upgrades with minimal downtime.
What type of cable do I need to use with this RJ-45 SFP?
You need standard twisted-pair copper Ethernet cable, specifically Category 5 (Cat5), Category 5e (Cat5e), or Category 6 (Cat6) cable with an RJ-45 connector. The module is designed for Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) operation over such cabling, which is widely available and commonly deployed in network infrastructures.
