Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cable is required for this SFP transceiver?
This SFP transceiver requires standard RJ45 copper Ethernet cables, such as Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a, to achieve 1 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over distances up to 100 meters.
Is this module compatible with non-Arista Networks switches?
While this module is specifically designed and tested for Arista Networks switches and routers, its functionality with other brands is not guaranteed. For optimal performance and compatibility, it is recommended for Arista environments.
Does this SFP module support both 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-TX?
Yes, this transceiver is compliant with 10/100/1000BASE-TX standards, allowing it to auto-negotiate and operate at Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) speeds over copper.
What are the power requirements for this SFP module?
SFP modules draw power directly from the host switch or router's SFP port, typically consuming very low power (under 1W). No external power supply is required for its operation.
