Zyxel SFP-1000T Compatible 1000BASE-T Copper SFP Module

EdgeOptic's SFP-1000T compatible is a Zyxel-coded RJ45 copper version of the EdgeOptic 1000M-SFP-T multi-vendor 10/100/1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver. Zyxel markets the SFP-1000T as a 1000BASE-T copper SFP for switches with SFP slots, and this compatible matches that designation for installations that specify the SFP-1000T part number.

The module carries Gigabit Ethernet over copper to IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) and auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps, so it links at 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX rates as well. Reach is 100 m over Cat 5, Cat 5e, or Cat 6 unshielded twisted pair through a standard RJ45 connector, with Auto MDI/MDI-X handling straight-through and crossover cabling. It runs from a +3.3 V supply across the commercial 0 to 70 C range and supports digital diagnostics monitoring. Build is to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (INF-8074i) with CE and RoHS compliance.

EdgeOptic codes the transceiver EEPROM with Zyxel-recognized identification so the host accepts it as a genuine SFP-1000T. The module is intended for Zyxel switches equipped with SFP slots rated for 1000BASE-T copper. Verify the specific switch model against its transceiver compatibility documentation, and confirm the slot is rated for a copper SFP before installing.

Copper SFP modules of this class fit wherever Gigabit links run over structured copper rather than fiber. In a Zyxel switch deployment they typically carry uplinks from access switches to the aggregation layer over short RJ45 runs, server attachments inside a rack, or management links between equipment in the same room. The 100 m reach over Cat 5e or Cat 6 covers most in-building runs without media converters.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor networking platforms, this module is CE and RoHS certified and built to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement.
