Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module operates on Gigabit Ethernet standards, specifically 1000Base-TX, which enables full-duplex communication at 1 Gbit/s speeds. It supports transmission distances up to 0.10 km (0.06 miles) over Category 5e or higher twisted pair cables, maintaining signal integrity across typical office or facility layouts.
The module's single RJ-45 port provides a straightforward copper interface, eliminating the need for media converters in copper-based networks. Its compact dimensions—0.55" height, 0.54" width, and 2.80" depth—ensure it fits standard SFP cages without obstructing adjacent ports or airflow.
