Designer and manufacturer of products for telecommunication and networking systems, Bel Fuse has introduced a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module that provides GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) speeds over the Category 5/5e UTP (Unshielded Twisted-Pair) copper cable.
The SFP-1GBT-03 transceiver module supports copper networks with the help of an integrated SerDes PHY interface, which directly connects to a fiber-optic device. The module functions at 320mW and 610mW for excellent performance and cost efficiency.
The SFP-1GBT-03 transceiver module complies with IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3u, and 802.3 specifications, while supports IEEE 802.3ab and 802.3u auto-negotiation features. Hence, the module allows networking device to check and adjust the setting automatically. It can access the physical layer IC through I2C interface. The device also has an automatic medium-dependent interface crossover and a Baseline Wander correction, which helps in data recovery in worst-case network settings.
The module is suitable for high-density applications such as router/server interfaces, gaming devices, blade servers, switched backplanes, switch-to-switch interfaces, and LAN 1000BASE-T. It supports a data-rate of 10/100/1000 Mbps over a distance of more than 100 meters.
The SFP-1GBT-03 transceiver module functions using one 3.3V power supply. It features a metallic housing packaging that ensures low EMI emissions and high RFI performance, to decrease the design constraints in matching the EMI emission specifications.
