Planet 2.5GBASE-T SFP Copper RJ45 Transceiver (-40~85°C, 100m)

The Planet MGB-2GTRJ is a high-performance 2.5GBASE-T SFP copper transceiver designed for industrial environments. It provides reliable 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard twisted-pair copper cabling, supporting distances up to 100 meters. With an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, this transceiver is ideal for deployment in harsh conditions such as outdoor cabinets, factories, and warehouses.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a cost-effective upgrade path from 1G to 2.5G without replacing existing cabling infrastructure. It supports hot-plugging for easy installation and maintenance, and features Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time performance monitoring. The industrial temperature rating ensures stable operation in extreme environments.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet networks requiring 2.5G connectivity
• Upgrading existing 1G SFP ports to 2.5G speed
• Connecting switches, routers, and NICs in data centers or enterprise networks
