Dell GP-SFP2-1T 1Gb/s SFP 100m RJ-45 Copper-Mode Transceiver

Product Description

The Dell GP-SFP2-1T is a 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module specifically designed for copper network connections. Unlike typical fiber optic SFPs, this module terminates in an RJ-45 connector, allowing it to interface with standard Ethernet cables such as Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 6a. This makes it an extremely versatile option for network administrators who need to connect devices using existing copper infrastructure or require flexible port configurations on their switches. This transceiver supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices and speeds. It adheres to the 1000BASE-T standard, enabling Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling up to a maximum distance of 100 meters. This is ideal for short-reach connections within a rack, between racks, or across a wiring closet in enterprise and data center environments. The hot-pluggable nature of the SFP module allows for easy installation and replacement without the need to power down the host switch or device, minimizing network downtime. The GP-SFP2-1T provides a cost-effective solution for extending Gigabit Ethernet connectivity where fiber is not required or available, leveraging the ubiquity of copper cabling. It is compliant with industry standards, ensuring reliable performance and interoperability.
