Addonics SFP1GETAO 1Gb/s 100Base-T 100m RJ-45 Connector Transceiver Module

Product Description

The Addonics SFP1GETAO is a specialized Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module that provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling. Unlike most SFP modules that are designed for fiber optics, this module terminates in an RJ-45 connector, allowing standard copper Ethernet cables (such as Cat 5e, Cat 6, or higher) to be plugged directly into the SFP port of a network device. This is particularly useful for extending Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in environments where fiber infrastructure is not available or for specific copper-based network requirements. This transceiver module supports the 1000Base-T standard, enabling data transfer rates of up to 1 Gigabit per second over copper Ethernet. It is designed to operate reliably over distances of up to 100 meters, which is the standard maximum length for Gigabit Ethernet connections using copper cabling. The RJ-45 connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of existing network infrastructure and patch cords. The SFP1GETAO is a hot-pluggable module, meaning it can be installed or removed from an SFP slot without disrupting network operations. This feature enhances flexibility and simplifies network maintenance or upgrades. It serves as an effective solution for connecting devices like servers, workstations, or network switches using copper cabling where the network device itself might only have SFP ports available, or for providing a flexible copper interface on a switch.
