TRENDnet TEG-MGBRJ 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Copper SFP Module

The TRENDnet TEG-MGBRJ 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Copper SFP Module provides a convenient way to add Gigabit copper Ethernet connectivity to compatible network equipment with an available SFP slot.

Designed for use with standard SFP slots commonly found on network switches and fiber media converters, the TEG-MGBRJ converts the SFP interface into a standard RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port. This allows network administrators to repurpose an available SFP slot for copper Ethernet connectivity without replacing the existing network equipment.

The module supports data rates up to 1.25Gbps and Ethernet transmission distances up to 100m (328 ft.) when used with suitable copper cabling. It supports IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3z, and IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standards.

The TEG-MGBRJ is SFP MSA compliant and hot-pluggable, making installation and replacement convenient on compatible equipment. Its compact metal enclosure measures only 68 × 13 × 13mm and consumes a maximum of 0.9W.

This copper SFP module is suitable for network switches, fiber media converters, and other compatible networking equipment where an RJ-45 Gigabit connection is required through an SFP interface.
