Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module operates on the 1000Base-TX standard, which utilizes all four pairs in twisted pair cabling to achieve Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The module is electrically compliant with IEEE 802.3ab specifications, ensuring interoperability with other Gigabit Ethernet devices. It supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX features, simplifying installation and reducing configuration overhead.
The transceiver is designed for copper media only, making it ideal for short-reach connections within server rooms, wiring closets, or between network devices in the same rack. Its maximum supported distance of 100 meters covers typical office and data center cabling runs without signal degradation.

FAQ
What type of SFP module is the SRX-SFP-1GE-T-A?
The SRX-SFP-1GE-T-A is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for Juniper networking equipment. It uses an RJ-45 connector to interface with twisted pair copper cabling, supporting 1000Base-TX Gigabit Ethernet at speeds up to 1 Gbit/s over distances of up to 100 meters.
What is the maximum distance this SFP module supports?
This Ortronics SFP module supports a maximum distance of 0.10 kilometers, which equals approximately 100 meters or 328 feet. This reach is typical for copper Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5e or higher twisted pair cabling, covering most office and data center cabling runs without requiring signal boosters or repeaters.
Is this SFP module compatible with fiber optic cables?
No, this is specifically a copper SFP module designed for twisted pair cabling only. It uses an RJ-45 connector and supports 1000Base-TX Ethernet over copper media. For fiber optic connections, you would need a different SFP module with LC or other fiber connectors appropriate for singlemode or multimode fiber.
What networking equipment is this SFP module compatible with?
The SRX-SFP-1GE-T-A is designed for Juniper networking platforms that accept standard SFP modules. It is specifically coded and tested for compatibility with Juniper switches, routers, and other network devices that have SFP ports supporting copper transceivers. Always verify compatibility with your specific Juniper model before deployment.
