FAQ
What is the primary use of this SFP transceiver?
The Axiom SFP-1G-T-AX is designed to provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper twisted-pair cabling in Arista network equipment. It converts electrical signals for transmission through standard RJ-45 interfaces, enabling 1000BASE-T connections between Arista switches and servers, workstations, or other network devices without requiring fiber optic infrastructure.
Is this transceiver compatible with all Arista switches?
This transceiver is MSA-compliant and engineered for compatibility with Arista network switches and routers that support SFP slots. However, compatibility should always be verified against specific Arista equipment models and firmware requirements, as some devices may have particular SFP module validation lists or configuration needs for optimal operation.
What type of cabling does this SFP module require?
The SFP-1G-T-AX requires standard twisted-pair Ethernet cabling with RJ-45 connectors, typically Category 5e or higher (Cat6, Cat6a). It supports the 1000BASE-T standard, which operates over four pairs of copper wires for full Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 100 meters per the Ethernet specification, making it suitable for most office and data center copper deployments.
