Vertiv RJ45-CATX-SFP Concise Descriptor
Overview
The Vertiv RJ45-CATX-SFP is a 1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver designed to convert an SFP port into a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection. This module allows you to utilize standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for network connectivity, ideal for extending network reach within a facility or integrating devices that require an RJ45 interface where only SFP ports are available. It's a direct replacement for fiber SFPs when copper Ethernet is the required medium.
Compatibility
This transceiver is compatible with any network device featuring an SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) slot that supports 1000BASE-T copper modules. This includes a wide range of managed switches, routers, and network interface cards from various manufacturers. It is designed to work with standard SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant ports. It is specifically designed to be a copper module, distinct from the LC-MM-SFP (Multi Mode Fiber) and LC-SM-SFP (Single Mode Fiber) modules offered by Vertiv.
Installation Notes
Installation involves simply inserting the RJ45-CATX-SFP module into an available SFP slot on your network equipment. Ensure the equipment's SFP port is powered off before insertion or removal to prevent potential damage. The module supports standard 1000BASE-T Ethernet over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling up to 100 meters.
