Product Overview
The EtherWAN SFPGXT1AM Hardened Gigabit RJ45 SFP Module delivers 1000BASE-T copper Ethernet connectivity for compatible industrial network switches and networking equipment. Featuring an RJ45 connector in a compact Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) module, it supports Gigabit Ethernet connections up to 100 meters using Category 5 or better twisted-pair cabling. Its hardened -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range makes it suitable for supported industrial networking environments where wide temperature tolerance is required. The SFPGXT1AM enables compatible SFP-equipped devices to use a copper Ethernet connection without requiring optical fiber transceivers or LC connectors.
The EtherWAN SFPGXT1AM is a hardened 1000 Mbps copper SFP Ethernet transceiver with a single RJ45 interface. EtherWAN lists the module under its Gigabit SFP Series, specifying a maximum copper cable distance of 100 meters (approximately 328 feet), Category 5 or better cabling, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). The module is intended for compatible networking devices supporting 1000BASE-T copper SFP operation. Unlike a fiber optic SFP, the SFPGXT1AM does not use optical wavelengths, LC fiber connectors, or an optical link budget. EtherWAN's SFP Series documentation describes a +3.3V supply, SFP Multi-Source Agreement compliance, and RoHS compliance. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is not identified as a supported feature for SFPGXT1AM in the manufacturer's published model table. Actual compatibility depends on the host switch, SFP port capabilities, available power, and supported transceiver configuration. Coremicro supplies professional networking equipment and accessories and can assist with product selection, host compatibility, and purchasing inquiries.
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
The SFPGXT1AM supports 1000 Mbps Ethernet communication through a compatible Gigabit SFP host interface. Its 1000BASE-T connection provides standard copper Gigabit networking for devices with supported SFP ports. This allows network designers to incorporate an RJ45 connection into compatible SFP-equipped hardware rather than using an optical transceiver. Confirm the host's supported speed and copper module compatibility before installation.
Integrated RJ45 Copper SFP Interface
The module features an RJ45 connector for conventional twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. Unlike optical SFP transceivers that require single-mode or multimode fiber, SFPGXT1AM uses copper network cable. This makes it useful when the intended connection is Ethernet over copper and the host device explicitly supports an RJ45 SFP module.
Up to 100 Meters of Copper Ethernet Reach
EtherWAN specifies a maximum connection distance of 100 meters, equivalent to approximately 328 feet. This provides a familiar planning limit for Gigabit copper Ethernet links between compatible networking devices. Actual performance depends on the cable installation, connector quality, link conditions, and support provided by the host interface.
Category 5 or Better Ethernet Cabling
The SFPGXT1AM is specified for Category 5 or higher twisted-pair Ethernet cable. Installers can evaluate existing cabling against the published cable category and 100-meter maximum distance. Proper terminations, suitable cabling, and adherence to Ethernet installation requirements are important for maintaining a reliable Gigabit network connection.
Hardened -40°C to +85°C Temperature Range
The module operates within a hardened temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. This specification supports deployment in compatible industrial switches and network equipment exposed to wider temperature variations than typical office installations. The overall networking system must still meet the environmental limits of its host device, enclosure, cables, and power equipment.
Compact SFP Form Factor and Host Integration
The Small Form-factor Pluggable design offers a modular connection option for compatible networking equipment. However, a physically compatible SFP slot does not automatically support every copper transceiver. Verify the host switch's approved modules, 1000BASE-T operation, power requirements, and relevant hardware or firmware restrictions before selecting the SFPGXT1AM.

What is the EtherWAN SFPGXT1AM used for?
The EtherWAN SFPGXT1AM is a hardened Gigabit Ethernet copper SFP transceiver with an RJ45 interface. It provides 1000BASE-T connectivity for compatible SFP-equipped networking devices and supports copper Ethernet cable connections up to 100 meters using Category 5 or better cabling.
Does SFPGXT1AM support 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. The SFPGXT1AM is listed in EtherWAN's Gigabit SFP Series and is designed for 1000 Mbps copper Ethernet connectivity. It is a Gigabit module rather than a 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceiver. The host device must support the module's required Gigabit copper interface.
What is the maximum Ethernet cable distance for SFPGXT1AM?
EtherWAN specifies a maximum Ethernet cable distance of 100 meters, approximately 328 feet, for the SFPGXT1AM. Actual link performance depends on suitable cable, proper termination, installation quality, and support from the connected networking equipment.
What type of Ethernet cable does SFPGXT1AM require?
The SFPGXT1AM is specified for Category 5 or better twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. It uses an RJ45 connector rather than an LC optical fiber connector. Installers should confirm cable category, proper termination, and the planned link distance before deployment.
Can the EtherWAN SFPGXT1AM be installed in any SFP port?
No. A physically compatible SFP slot does not guarantee support for every RJ45 copper transceiver. The host switch or networking device must support the SFPGXT1AM's Gigabit copper interface and applicable electrical and power requirements. Check the equipment manufacturer's compatibility documentation before installation.
What is the operating temperature range of SFPGXT1AM?
The EtherWAN SFPGXT1AM has a hardened operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, equivalent to -40°F to +185°F. The complete network installation must also meet the environmental requirements of the host switch, enclosure, cabling, and other connected components.
Does SFPGXT1AM support fiber optics, DDM, or PoE?
The SFPGXT1AM is a copper RJ45 SFP and does not use fiber optic connectors or optical wavelengths. EtherWAN's published model table does not identify DDM support for this module. PoE power sourcing is also not specified, so installers should not assume it can power connected PoE devices. For fiber connections, select a compatible optical SFP instead.
