Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver implements 1000Base-T technology to deliver full Gigabit Ethernet performance over Category 5e or better twisted pair cabling. The single RJ-45 port supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX functionality, simplifying installation and ensuring optimal link establishment with connected devices.
The module operates within standard SFP power and thermal specifications, making it suitable for high-density switch deployments without requiring special cooling considerations. Environmental compliance features ensure responsible manufacturing and disposal practices align with modern IT sustainability goals.
Key Product Advantages
These transceivers deliver several distinct advantages for network administrators seeking reliable copper connectivity in SFP-based infrastructure. The Citrix-specific compatibility ensures optimized performance in virtual desktop and application delivery environments where network latency and reliability directly impact user experience.
Bulk Deployment Ready
The 4-pack configuration reduces per-unit handling time and provides immediate spares for maintenance scenarios, making it ideal for large-scale rollouts or data center refresh projects.
- Reduces procurement overhead
- Provides instant replacement inventory
- Simplifies asset tracking
Standards Compliance
MSA compliance guarantees mechanical and electrical interoperability with third-party networking equipment, eliminating vendor lock-in concerns and providing flexible sourcing options.
- Ensures switch compatibility
- Supports multi-vendor environments
- Reduces integration testing time
Deployment / Use Cases
These SFP transceivers excel in environments where copper connectivity must extend from SFP-equipped switches to servers, workstations, or network appliances. The RJ-45 interface makes them particularly valuable for connecting to existing Category 5e/6/6a cabling infrastructure without requiring fiber optic conversion equipment.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to server NICs in data centers, extending network segments between equipment racks, and providing copper uplinks for access layer switches in office environments. The Citrix optimization makes them especially suitable for VDI deployments where consistent network performance is critical for user productivity.
Data Center Server Connectivity
Connect SFP switch ports directly to server RJ-45 ports using existing structured cabling, eliminating the need for separate media converters and reducing points of failure in server access layers.
Network Segment Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet segments between network closets or equipment rooms using standard twisted pair cabling, providing cost-effective connectivity where fiber installation would be prohibitive.

FAQ
What type of cable does this SFP transceiver require?
This transceiver requires standard twisted pair Ethernet cable, specifically Category 5e or higher (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, or Cat7). It supports the full 100-meter distance specification for Gigabit Ethernet over copper when used with properly installed cabling that meets these category standards.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Citrix networking equipment?
Yes, while optimized for Citrix environments, this MSA-compliant SFP transceiver works with any networking equipment that supports standard 1000BASE-T SFP modules. The MSA compliance ensures mechanical and electrical interoperability with switches and routers from various manufacturers that adhere to the SFP multi-source agreement specifications.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This transceiver supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). It implements 1000Base-T technology, which utilizes all four pairs in twisted pair cabling to achieve full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet performance while maintaining backward compatibility with slower Ethernet standards through auto-negotiation.
Does this transceiver require external power?
No, this SFP transceiver draws power directly from the switch or router's SFP cage through standard SFP power pins. It operates within typical SFP power consumption specifications, making it suitable for high-density deployments without requiring additional power supplies or external power connections.
