Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP transceiver operates on the 100/1000Base-T Ethernet standard, delivering a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s over Category 5e or better twisted pair cable. The module features a single RJ-45 port that supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation, making it backward compatible with existing Fast Ethernet infrastructure while providing Gigabit performance where supported.
The transceiver is fully MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, ensuring mechanical and electrical interoperability with SFP slots from multiple vendors. This compliance guarantees reliable hot-pluggable operation and eliminates vendor lock-in concerns, providing flexibility in network design and component sourcing.

FAQ
What type of cable does this SFP transceiver require?
This transceiver uses standard twisted pair copper cable with RJ-45 connectors. It is compatible with Category 5e, Category 6, or better Ethernet cable, supporting maximum distances of up to 100 meters (0.10 km) for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity without requiring fiber optic infrastructure.
Is this SFP module compatible with non-Niagara equipment?
Yes, while specifically optimized for Niagara platform compatibility, this transceiver is fully MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant. This ensures mechanical and electrical interoperability with SFP slots from various network equipment vendors, providing broad compatibility across switches, routers, and network interface cards from different manufacturers.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
The Axiom N-SFP-TX-AX transceiver supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s (1000 Mbps) using 100/1000Base-T Ethernet technology. It features auto-negotiation capability that allows it to operate at either 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps speeds depending on the connected equipment and cable quality, ensuring optimal performance in mixed-speed network environments.
Does this transceiver support hot-plugging?
Yes, as an MSA-compliant SFP module, it supports hot-pluggable operation. This means you can insert or remove the transceiver from a compatible SFP port without powering down the network equipment, allowing for maintenance, upgrades, or replacements without disrupting network services or requiring scheduled downtime.
