FAQ
What type of SFP module is the SFP-1G-COPPER?
The SFP-1G-COPPER is a copper SFP (mini-GBIC) module that uses 1000Base-T technology over twisted pair cabling. It features an RJ-45 connector and operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for copper-based network connections rather than fiber optic links.
What switches is this SFP module compatible with?
This module is specifically compatible with Cambium Networks cnMatrix EX2000 series switches, including models like EX2010, EX2016M-P, EX2010-P, EX2028-P, EX2028, EX2052-P, EX2052, and EX2052R-P with CRPS. It is coded for these platforms to ensure reliable operation and easy deployment.
What is the maximum data transfer rate and distance supported?
The SFP-1G-COPPER supports a data transfer rate of up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) using 1000Base-T technology. It can achieve distances up to 100 meters when used with Cat5e or higher-grade twisted pair cabling, providing flexible connectivity within typical office or data center environments.
Does this module support hot-plugging?
Yes, as a standard SFP (mini-GBIC) module, the SFP-1G-COPPER supports hot-plugging. This allows you to install or remove the module without powering down the compatible switch, minimizing network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
