Intellinet 523882 – Gigabit RJ45 Copper SFP Transceiver

Overview :

Gigabit RJ45 copper SFP transceiver module enabling 1000BASE-T connectivity over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling in SFP-equipped networking equipment. Deployed by network engineers, data center operations staff, and infrastructure architects for integrating copper uplinks into fiber-based switches, routers, and firewalls that accept SFP form factor modules.

Provides 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) using standard unshielded twisted-pair Cat5e or better cabling. Functions as a direct replacement for fiber SFP optics in applications requiring copper connectivity where fiber infrastructure is unavailable or cost-prohibitive.

Manufactured to comply with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards, ensuring interoperability across all major networking vendors including Cisco, Juniper, HP, Dell, and Arista. Auto-negotiation support enables seamless link establishment at 10/100/1000 Mbps depending on the host device and connected endpoint.

Hot-swappable design allows installation and removal without powering down the host device. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support provides real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, bias current, and signal levels for proactive network management.

Deployed in enterprise campus networks, data center top-of-rack switching, service provider edge equipment, and metropolitan area network infrastructure. Compatible with any SFP port supporting 1000BASE-T copper SFP modules per MSA specifications.

Not suitable for fiber-optic connectivity; this is a copper RJ45 SFP only. Does not support SFP+ (10G) speeds despite physical compatibility – will operate at 1G maximum. Not compatible with SFP ports that do not support 1000BASE-T copper SFP modules (some legacy SFP ports support fiber only). Verify host compatibility before deployment.

Key Features :

• MSA-compliant for cross-vendor interoperability

• RJ45 copper interface for 100m Category 5e/6 runs

• Hot-swappable design for zero-downtime installation

• Auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds

• DDM monitoring for real-time performance visibility
