Cambium Networks SFP-1G-COPPER 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Copper Transceiver

Network upgrades can stall when you need a reliable link between switches but lack fibre. The Cambium Networks SFP-1G-COPPER 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Copper Transceiver gives you a simple, cost-effective way to add Gigabit Ethernet over ordinary Cat-5 cable, delivering fast, stable connections for up to 100 metres without the hassle of fibre handling.

Key Features of a 1000 Mbit/s Copper Transceiver

• Interface type: RJ-45. Connects directly to standard Ethernet ports for easy installation.
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s. Provides full-gigabit speeds for demanding applications.
• SFP transceiver type: Copper. Uses copper cabling, avoiding the expense of fibre optics.
• Hot-Plug support: Yes. Allows you to insert or remove the module without powering down the equipment.
• Power consumption (typical): 1.05 W. Keeps energy use low while maintaining performance.
• Maximum voltage: 3.3 V. Compatible with common network device power supplies.
• Operating temperature (T-T): -40 - 85 °C. Works reliably in harsh indoor or outdoor environments.
• HS code: 85369010. Simplifies customs clearance for international shipments.
• Serial ID access: Address A0h via 2-wire CMOS EEPROM. Enables easy identification and management.
• Physical IC access: Address ACh via 2-wire serial bus. Facilitates firmware updates and diagnostics.

Why Choose Cambium Networks Copper Transceiver

If you manage a small to medium-size network, you often need to extend connectivity without investing in expensive fibre infrastructure. Many users struggle with limited cable runs or the need for quick, on-the-fly upgrades. This transceiver fits perfectly, letting you use existing Cat-5 runs to achieve gigabit speeds, saving both time and money while keeping your network future-proof.

Benefits of Cambium Networks Copper Transceiver

• Easy installation: Plug-and-play design means no complex configuration.
• Cost-effective: Uses inexpensive copper cabling instead of costly fibre.
• Energy efficient: Low power draw reduces overall electricity costs.
• Robust performance: Handles full-duplex gigabit traffic without errors.
• Wide temperature range: Operates reliably in extreme conditions.

Usages of a 1000 Mbit/s Copper Transceiver

Ideal for connecting switches, routers, or media converters in office buildings, schools, or retail sites where existing Cat-5 cabling is already in place. It also serves well in temporary installations, test labs, or expanding network segments where fibre is impractical, delivering reliable gigabit links wherever copper cabling exists.
