Key benefits Enables speed 1 Gbps connectivity over existing copper cabling while remaining compatible with 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps networks, providing a straightforward upgrade path. Hotswappable SFP module allows maintenance, upgrades, and expansion without powering down networking devices, reducing downtime and improving flexibility. Designed for IT professionals and businesses requiring efficient, reliable networking in corporate, data center, or server room environments. Supports transmission over copper up to 100 meters with Cat5e cabling, with Cat6 or Cat7 cables offering potential performance improvements for enhanced connectivity. Core features Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 SFP module supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbps. Backward compatible with 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps network equipment. Hotswappable SFP design for easy installation and replacement without powerdowns. Suitable for office spaces, server rooms, and data center deployments needing scalable 1 Gbps links. Performance and compatibility Function: 1000BASET over an SFP copper module, enabling fiberlike SFP flexibility with copper cabling. Compatibility: Works with 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps networks, ensuring broad interoperability across devices. Distance: Up to 100 meters when used with Cat5e cables; Cat6 or Cat7 cables can optimize performance where available. Cable and deployment guidance practice: Use Cat5e for standard 100 m 1000BASET links; upgrade to Cat6 or Cat7 where higher performance, reduced crosstalk, or futureproofing is desired. Deployment: Install as a hotswappable module in compatible network devices to enable rapid capacity and topology changes without downtime. Use scenarios Data center or enterprise core upgrade: Add 1 Gbps copper links between switches and servers by deploying hotswappable RJ45 SFP modules, enabling higher bandwidth without changing existing copper infrastructure. Office network refresh: Expand or upgrade floor or racklevel connectivity to 1 Gbps with minimal disruption by swapping in these SFP modules as needed. Server room maintenance and expansion: or add links on active equipment without powering down devices, supporting scalable growth and reduced operational impact.
