Ubiquiti UF-RJ45-1G 1000BASE-T SFP Copper RJ45 Transceiver Module

The Ubiquiti UF-RJ45-1G is a compact SFP transceiver module that brings Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to copper networks. Interfacing via an RJ45 connector, this 1000BASE-T module achieves data rates of 1 Gbps over distances up to 100 metres using standard twisted-pair cable. Engineered for hot-swapping, it can be inserted into SFP ports of switches and routers without interrupting network operations, offering a cost-effective path for integrating copper links into fibre-based infrastructures.

Advantages

This module eliminates the need for external media converters and simplifies network design. Supporting both UTP and STP cables from Cat5e upward, it provides versatility across existing cabling plants. Auto-negotiation ensures optimal speed and duplex settings, while the low power draw of under 1 W reduces operational expenditure. The robust metal housing protects the unit and aids thermal management, ensuring dependable performance even in dense deployment environments.
