Focus on Copper SFP Transceiver

When it comes to transceivers, most people will think of optical fiber transceivers. Admittedly, optical fiber SFP transceivers have found their way to market and aroused popularity among households. In fact, copper SFP transceiver is also applicable and holds an important place in this market. This article will show you essential information about copper SFP transceiver.

Copper Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver is also a compact, hot-pluggable and cost-effective module which provides easy and reliable interconnect capabilities for high performance network communications platforms. Just as its name shows, this kind of copper transceiver module is designed to be used in copper networks. It connects networking devices to copper networking cables in telecommunications and data applications. This copper module provides information which is compliant with the SFP MSA(Multi-Sourcing Agreement), with the Gigabit Ethernet and 1000- BASE-T standards. It also supports 1000Mbps data- rate up to 100 meters reach over unshielded twisted-pair. Of course, copper SFP transceiver boasts of several features:

1.Hot-pluggable SFP footprint;

2.Fully metallic enclosure for low EMI;

3.Compliant with major switch vendors

4.Low power dissipation (1.05 W typical);

5.10/100/1000Base-T operation in host systems with SGMII interface.

The following figure will show you the copper SFP transceiver.

During their operation, copper SFP transceiver modules use a copper line for linking. They are suitable for use with the equipment and devices that are in copper SFP slots or ports. Here are three main kinds of products of this copper SFP transceiver:

1.1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Full Duplex RJ45 100m Copper SFP Optical Transceiver;

2.10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Auto Negotiation Copper SFP Optical Transceiver;

3.10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet SGMII Interface 100m Copper SFP Optical Transceiver.

All these three products mentioned above are based on SFP MSA(Multi-Sourcing Agreement), and have similar features and applications.
