Ciena XCVR-A00CRJ Compatible 1000BASE-T Copper SFP

EdgeOptic's XCVR-A00CRJ compatible is a Ciena-coded copper version of the EdgeOptic 1000M-SFP-T multi-vendor 10/100/1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver. It carries an RJ45 connector and runs Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable at distances up to 100 m, the standard reach for 1000BASE-T copper links. The module auto-negotiates across all three rates, so it drops into 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T host ports without manual rate configuration.

The transceiver operates over the commercial 0 to 70 °C temperature range and runs from a single +3.3 V supply, consistent with the commercial-temperature class of the Ciena XCVR-A00CRJ. It is the commercial-temperature variant in Ciena's XCVR-x00CRJ copper SFP family. Engineers sourcing a part for a deployment with extended-temperature requirements should verify the temperature class their environment needs before ordering, since separate industrial-temperature copper SFPs exist for that use case.

Copper SFP modules cover enterprise LAN aggregation, switch-to-server links, and the many access-layer ports still running on twisted-pair cabling. The XCVR-A00CRJ compatible serves that role wherever a Ciena host expects a 1000BASE-T copper SFP, letting an SFP cage carry a copper Ethernet link without a separate copper-specific port. EdgeOptic codes the module with Ciena-recognized EEPROM so the host accepts it as a Ciena transceiver and reports the part correctly in the interface inventory. For confirmation that a specific Ciena chassis and line card accept this module, check the platform's transceiver compatibility documentation, since copper SFP support varies by line card.

EdgeOptic's compatible version includes digital diagnostics monitoring, drawn from the 1000M-SFP-T module specification. Whether diagnostic data is displayed depends on the host platform, since the original Ciena XCVR-A00CRJ does not support DDM. The module is built to the INF-8074i SFP MSA, runs on the standard +3.3 V SFP supply rail, and is CE and RoHS certified, so it interoperates with any host that follows the same SFP MSA.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor networking platforms, the XCVR-A00CRJ compatible ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For Ciena platform questions or bulk pricing, contact our sales team.
