Zyxel SFP-1000T network transceiver module 1000 Mbit/s

The Zyxel SFP-1000T is a compact network transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet links. With an SFP interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s, it supports copper connections up to 100 meters and is compliant with 21 CFR 1040.10/1040.11, CSA and TUV standards. The module operates from a 3.3 V input and has small dimensions (56 × 13.4 × 12.5 mm) and low weight, making it suitable for space-constrained network equipment.

Advantages

The module follows industry standards to ensure compatibility with switches and equipment from different vendors, avoiding proprietary lock-in. A broad Zyxel transceiver portfolio covers Fast and Gigabit Ethernet needs, allowing users to extend physical network boundaries by selecting the appropriate module. The swappable SFP design simplifies maintenance and upgrades: transceivers can be replaced independently of the switch, minimizing downtime and reducing the need to replace entire devices.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and connections
• Switches and routers with SFP slots
• Short-range copper copper runs up to 100 m
• Data center top-of-rack and access-layer links

How to use

Insert the Zyxel SFP-1000T into an SFP slot on a compatible switch or router while the device is powered down or following the vendor's hot-swap procedure. Connect a standard Cat5e/Cat6 copper cable to the RJ-45 port and verify link status via the switch management interface or LEDs. For best results, ensure the connected equipment supports SFP copper modules and matches the module's speed settings.

Recommendations

Use certified SFP slots and compatible switch firmware; keep spare transceivers for quick replacement during maintenance. For longer runs or fiber requirements, select an appropriate fiber SFP module from Zyxel's portfolio.
