DIGITUS 1.25 Gbps copper SFP-module RJ45 HP-comp.1000Mbit up to100m

The DIGITUS Copper SFP-module DN-81005-01 is a hot-pluggable 1.25 Gbps (1250 Mbit/s) SFP transceiver with an RJ45 interface, designed to add a copper Ethernet port to switches with available SFP uplink slots. The module is MSA-compliant and compatible with popular network switch manufacturers, enabling reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections over copper cabling up to 100 m. Operating temperature range is 0 °C to 70 °C. Package dimensions: 93 mm x 32 mm.

Advantages

This copper SFP-module provides a simple plug-and-play way to extend a network switch’s available ports by converting an SFP uplink into an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet connection. Its hot-pluggable design allows installation without interrupting network traffic or rebooting the device. Compliance with the MSA standard ensures wide compatibility across switch brands, and support for 1.25 Gbps data rates delivers high-speed performance over standard copper cabling.

Suitable for

• Adding RJ45 Gigabit ports to switches with free SFP uplink slots
• Short-distance copper Ethernet links up to 100 m
• Network environments requiring hot-swappable transceivers

How to use

Power is not required to install the module in most switch models; align the SFP module with the switch’s SFP slot and insert it until it clicks into place. Connect a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable from the module to the target device. Because the module is hot-pluggable, installation can be done while the switch is operating. Verify link and activity LEDs on the switch or connected devices to confirm the connection.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded Cat5e/Cat6 cabling for best results and keep copper link lengths within 100 m. Avoid inserting or removing the module in environments with excessive dust or moisture; store unused modules in anti-static packaging.
