Cisco (Linksys) compatible MGBT1 Description
EdgeOptic's MGBT1 compatible is a Cisco (Linksys)-coded version of the EdgeOptic 1000M-SFP-M multi-vendor 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver. It runs Gigabit Ethernet only, at a fixed 1000 Mbps, over Category 5 twisted-pair copper cabling terminated with an RJ45 connector, matching Cisco's MGE SFP Modules for Small Business datasheet and the Cisco 300, 350 and 500 series switch datasheets, all of which list MGBT1 as a 1000 Mbps SFP with no 10/100 Mbps mode. Some third-party compatible listings market MGBT1-branded variants as 10/100/1000Base-TX tri-speed modules; that spec does not apply to the Cisco-documented MGBT1 or to this EdgeOptic compatible, both of which run Gigabit-only. Maximum reach over Cat5 copper is 100 meters, and the module supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) per SFF-8472 for real-time telemetry such as temperature, supply voltage, and bias current. Built to the SFP MSA form factor per INF-8074i, it uses a spring-latch RJ45 cage mount, draws +3.3V, and operates across a standard 0 to 70 degrees Celsius range.
EdgeOptic's compatible is coded with Cisco-recognized EEPROM values, so it registers as a supported SFP module on Cisco Small Business switch platforms without special CLI commands. Verify the exact switch model and firmware release against Cisco's own SFP compatibility documentation before ordering. It ships with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Cisco Small Business switches support the MGBT1?
Cisco documents MGBT1 as a supported SFP module across its 300, 350 and 500 series Small Business switch datasheets, each listing it as UTP Category 5 (or 5e) copper, 1000 Mbps, up to 100 meters. Cisco support documentation also lists the Small Business and Small Business Pro switch range as compatible. Confirm the specific model and firmware release against Cisco's own SFP compatibility table before ordering, since coverage can vary by hardware revision.
Is the MGBT1 gigabit-only, or does it also run at 10/100 Mbps?
The MGBT1 is Gigabit-only. Cisco's MGE SFP Modules for Small Business datasheet and its 300, 350 and 500 series switch datasheets all list MGBT1 as a fixed 1000 Mbps SFP, with no 10/100 Mbps fallback mode. Some third-party compatible listings market MGBT1-branded modules as 10/100/1000Base-TX tri-speed parts; that claim describes those third-party builds, not the Cisco-documented MGBT1 or this EdgeOptic compatible, which both run Gigabit-only.
