Product Features
Technical Overview
This SFP module operates at a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbps, supporting full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet performance. The interface specification is 1000Base-T, which utilizes all four pairs of Category 5 or better twisted pair cable to achieve gigabit speeds.
The module is designed for hot-pluggable installation, allowing network administrators to add or replace transceivers without powering down equipment. This feature minimizes network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
This section brings together practical product details such as Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Connector Type, Interfaces/Ports Details, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This SFP module extends the flexibility of SFP-based networking equipment by providing copper connectivity options alongside fiber optic alternatives. Network architects can standardize on SFP slot equipment while choosing the appropriate media type for each connection based on distance, cost, and existing infrastructure.
Copper Infrastructure Compatibility
Leverages existing Category 5 or better twisted pair cabling, eliminating the need for fiber optic cable installation in environments where copper infrastructure is already deployed.
- Uses standard Ethernet cabling
- No special fiber termination required
- Compatible with common network test equipment
Interoperability Assurance
Designed to work with a range of ECI Networks SFP-compatible equipment, providing reliable performance across supported platforms.
- Tested with listed compatible modules
- Consistent performance specifications
- Vendor-supported compatibility
Deployment / Use Cases
The SFP-1GE-T-ECI module is particularly valuable in mixed-media network environments where some connections require copper interfaces while others utilize fiber optics. This flexibility allows network administrators to optimize each link based on distance requirements, bandwidth needs, and budget considerations.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting SFP-equipped switches to copper-based network devices, extending network segments where fiber isn't necessary or practical, and providing backup copper connections in primarily fiber networks.
Switch-to-Server Connections
Ideal for connecting SFP-equipped network switches to servers with standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports, providing gigabit connectivity without requiring separate copper switch ports.
Network Edge Extensions
Useful for extending network connectivity to workstations, printers, and other edge devices in environments where running new fiber optic cable would be cost-prohibitive.

FAQ
What type of connector does this SFP module use?
This SFP module uses a standard RJ-45 connector, which is the same connector type found on most Ethernet cables and network devices. The RJ-45 interface supports 1000Base-T connectivity over twisted pair cabling, making it compatible with existing copper network infrastructure without requiring special adapters or converters.
What cable standard is required for this SFP module?
The module requires Category 5 or better twisted pair cable to achieve its rated 1 Gbps performance. Category 5e or Category 6 cable will also work and may provide additional performance margin. The 1000Base-T specification utilizes all four pairs of the twisted pair cable to deliver full gigabit bandwidth in both directions simultaneously.
Is this SFP module hot-pluggable?
Yes, this SFP module is designed for hot-pluggable installation. This means you can insert or remove the module from a compatible SFP slot without powering down the network equipment. This feature allows for maintenance, upgrades, and reconfiguration with minimal network disruption, though it's always recommended to follow the equipment manufacturer's specific guidelines for safe hot-swapping procedures.
What network equipment is this SFP module compatible with?
The module is designed to be compatible with specific ECI Networks SFP slots as indicated in the compatibility list. This includes modules such as PE-1G-SFP, P-1GE-SFP, PB-1GE-SFP, and several others with both standard and QPP variants. Always verify compatibility with your specific network equipment before deployment, as SFP compatibility can vary between different manufacturers and product lines.
