Product Overview
The EtherWAN SFP2XT1AM Hardened 2.5G RJ45 SFP Transceiver provides high-speed copper Ethernet connectivity for compatible industrial networking equipment. Designed for 2500 Mbps communication over twisted-pair cabling, this compact Small Form-factor Pluggable module features an RJ45 interface and supports Ethernet connections up to 100 meters. Its hardened operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C makes it suitable for supported industrial networking environments requiring wide temperature tolerance. The SFP2XT1AM offers a copper connection option for compatible 2.5G SFP ports without requiring optical fiber transceivers or LC connectors.
The EtherWAN SFP2XT1AM is a hardened 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet copper SFP transceiver with an RJ45 connector. EtherWAN specifies a transmission speed of 2500 Mbps, maximum connection distance of 100 meters, and Category 5A or better cabling in its published product documentation. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). The manufacturer lists SFP2XT1AM among the accessories for EtherWAN EX71900G and EX78900G managed Ethernet switch series. Because this is a copper transceiver, optical wavelength, optical transmit power, receiver sensitivity, and optical link budget specifications are not applicable. EtherWAN does not indicate Digital Diagnostic Monitoring support for this model in the reviewed accessory tables. Host compatibility depends on the exact networking device, supported SFP data rates, copper transceiver support, power availability, and applicable hardware or firmware requirements. Coremicro supplies professional networking equipment and can assist with EtherWAN module selection, compatibility verification, and purchasing inquiries.
2.5 Gbps Copper Ethernet Connectivity
The SFP2XT1AM supports Ethernet data transmission at 2500 Mbps through a compatible SFP host interface. It provides 2.5 Gigabit copper connectivity for supported network switches and other networking equipment. This higher-than-Gigabit data rate is useful for installations requiring a compatible 2.5GbE link without using an optical transceiver. The connected devices must support the required speed and copper SFP operation.
Integrated RJ45 Copper SFP Interface
The module features a standard RJ45-style Ethernet connection for compatible twisted-pair copper network cabling. Unlike optical SFP modules that use LC fiber connectors, SFP2XT1AM provides its network interface through copper cabling. It is suitable for SFP-equipped devices that explicitly support the module's copper interface and 2.5 Gbps operating rate.
Up to 100 Meters of Ethernet Reach
EtherWAN specifies a maximum copper Ethernet connection distance of 100 meters, approximately 328 feet. This provides a practical planning reference for compatible 2.5GbE network links between equipment locations. Actual operation depends on cable condition, connector quality, proper termination, the complete network installation, and support from both connected devices.
Manufacturer-Listed Cat. 5A or Better Cabling
EtherWAN identifies Category 5A or better as the cable requirement for SFP2XT1AM in its published product specifications. Installers should confirm that the selected Ethernet cable meets the requirements of the module, host equipment, and intended 2.5GbE connection. Proper cable routing, termination quality, and overall link length remain important for dependable operation.
Hardened -40°C to +85°C Operation
The SFP2XT1AM is rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. This hardened specification supports compatible industrial Ethernet installations where networking components may experience significant temperature variation. The complete system must still remain within the operating limits of the switch, enclosure, cables, and connected equipment.
EtherWAN EX71900G and EX78900G Support
EtherWAN lists SFP2XT1AM as an accessory for its EX71900G and EX78900G managed switch families. These product references help network engineers identify compatible 2.5G SFP deployment options. Individual switch variants, SFP slot capabilities, and firmware requirements should be verified before ordering. Compatibility with other manufacturers or switch series is not automatically guaranteed.

What is the EtherWAN SFP2XT1AM used for?
The EtherWAN SFP2XT1AM is a hardened 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet copper SFP transceiver with an RJ45 interface. It allows compatible networking devices to establish 2500 Mbps Ethernet connections over supported twisted-pair cabling for distances up to 100 meters. It is intended for host equipment that supports 2.5GbE copper SFP operation.
What transmission speed does SFP2XT1AM support?
EtherWAN specifies a transmission speed of 2500 Mbps, equivalent to 2.5 Gbps, for the SFP2XT1AM. The module must be used in a compatible SFP host that supports the required copper interface and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet operating rate. Support for additional data rates should not be assumed without device-specific documentation.
How far can SFP2XT1AM transmit over Ethernet cable?
The EtherWAN SFP2XT1AM is specified for Ethernet connections up to 100 meters, approximately 328 feet. EtherWAN lists Category 5A or better cabling for this module. Actual operating performance depends on cable quality, proper termination, installation conditions, and compatibility of the connected equipment.
Which EtherWAN switches support the SFP2XT1AM module?
EtherWAN lists SFP2XT1AM among the accessories for the EX71900G and EX78900G managed Ethernet switch series. Buyers should verify the exact switch model, applicable SFP port, supported data rates, and any hardware or firmware requirements before purchasing or installing the module.
What is the operating temperature range of EtherWAN SFP2XT1AM?
The SFP2XT1AM supports a hardened operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, equivalent to -40°F to +185°F. This rating makes the module suitable for compatible industrial networking equipment operating under demanding temperature conditions. The full installation must also meet the environmental limits of the host switch, enclosure, cables, and other connected components.
Does SFP2XT1AM support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring?
EtherWAN's published accessory tables do not indicate Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support for SFP2XT1AM. Unlike certain optical SFP modules with explicitly listed DDM functionality, this copper RJ45 model should not be assumed to provide module-level diagnostic monitoring. Contact EtherWAN or Coremicro if diagnostic support is an essential installation requirement.
Can the SFP2XT1AM work in any SFP port or with fiber optic cables?
No. A physically compatible SFP slot does not guarantee support for a 2.5G copper transceiver. The connected device must support the SFP2XT1AM's required data rate, copper interface, and electrical characteristics. The module uses an RJ45 Ethernet connection rather than an LC optical fiber connector, so it cannot directly connect to fiber optic cabling.
