Accortec TXN31111-ACC 850nm SFP Transceiver

Product Description

The Accortec TXN31111-ACC is an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for copper-based Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) connectivity. Unlike optical transceivers, this module interfaces with standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables, allowing network devices equipped with SFP slots, such as switches and routers, to connect to traditional copper networks. It effectively bridges the gap between SFP ports and the ubiquitous RJ-45 interface, enabling seamless integration of devices into existing network infrastructure. This transceiver supports data rates of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), offering flexibility and auto-negotiation capabilities to match the speed of the connected device or network segment. The maximum transmission distance over standard Category 5e or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling is typically up to 100 meters, which is standard for Ethernet over copper. Its primary use case is for short-reach connections within office environments, data centers, or campus networks where copper cabling is prevalent. The TXN31111-ACC features a hot-pluggable design, meaning it can be inserted into or removed from an SFP port without requiring the network device to be powered down. This facilitates easier installation, maintenance, and upgrades, minimizing network downtime. Its compact size and low power consumption make it an efficient solution for expanding network connectivity without requiring significant infrastructure changes.
