C2G 39477 1Gb/s Copper-Mode 100m RJ-45 Connector SFP Transceiver

Product Description

The C2G 39477 is a 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for copper Ethernet connections. Unlike typical fiber optic SFPs, this module utilizes an RJ-45 connector, allowing it to interface with standard Cat5e, Cat6, or higher category Ethernet cables. It enables Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over distances of up to 100 meters, providing a flexible and cost-effective solution for extending network reach within buildings or data centers where copper cabling is prevalent. This transceiver is ideal for use in managed switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) that support SFP modules. Its copper-based operation simplifies deployment in environments already equipped with extensive copper cabling infrastructure. The hot-swappable design ensures that the module can be installed or replaced without the need to power down the networking equipment, minimizing network downtime and facilitating maintenance. It adheres to the Small Form-Factor Pluggable Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware from various manufacturers. The C2G 39477 serves as a crucial component for network upgrades and expansions, offering a straightforward way to achieve Gigabit speeds over existing copper infrastructure. It is particularly useful for connecting end devices, access points, or linking switches within the same rack or across short distances where fiber optic cabling might be overkill or impractical. Its reliability and performance make it a dependable choice for ensuring robust network connectivity.
