Product Features
Technical Overview
This copper SFP module features a single RJ-45 port that supports 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T Ethernet standards over Category 5e or better twisted pair cable. The integrated PHY enables reliable data transmission up to 100 meters, matching the IEEE 802.3ab specification for Gigabit Ethernet over copper.
Built with low-power consumption components, the transceiver operates within standard SFP thermal and electrical envelopes, ensuring stable performance without requiring additional cooling or power adjustments. Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities provide real-time visibility into temperature, voltage, bias current, and transmitted/received optical power, though specific monitoring features depend on the host device's implementation.

FAQ
What type of cable does this SFP transceiver require?
The Axiom S30-RJ-AX transceiver uses standard twisted pair copper cable, specifically Category 5e or better (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a). It supports the 1000BASE-T Ethernet standard, which requires four pairs of copper wires for full Gigabit operation. The maximum supported distance is 100 meters per the IEEE 802.3ab specification.
Is this transceiver compatible with non-Interlogix equipment?
Yes, this transceiver is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, which means it follows industry-standard specifications for SFP form factor, electrical interface, and communication protocols. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of SFP-enabled switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers, not just Interlogix equipment.
What is the difference between this copper SFP and a fiber optic SFP?
This 1000BASE-T copper SFP uses RJ-45 connectors and twisted pair cable, while fiber optic SFPs use LC, SC, or other fiber connectors with singlemode or multimode fiber. Copper SFPs are typically more cost-effective for shorter distances (up to 100m) and leverage existing cabling, while fiber SFPs support longer distances (up to kilometers) and are immune to electromagnetic interference.
Does this transceiver support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this is a standard 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver that does not provide Power over Ethernet capability. PoE functionality is determined by the host switch or injector, not by the SFP module itself. The transceiver handles data transmission only over the twisted pair cable.
