Description
Product Overview
The EtherWAN SFPTXT1AM Hardened 10G RJ45 SFP Module delivers copper Ethernet connectivity for compatible 10-Gigabit industrial networking equipment. Featuring an integrated RJ45 interface, the transceiver supports manufacturer-listed cable distances up to 100 meters using Category 6a or better twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. Its hardened -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range supports applications requiring wider thermal tolerance than standard commercial transceivers. The compact SFP-family design provides an alternative to optical modules when a compatible host port and copper network connection are available.
The EtherWAN SFPTXT1AM is a hardened copper RJ45 transceiver listed in the manufacturer's 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP Series. EtherWAN specifies a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters (328 feet) using Category 6a or higher-rated twisted-pair Ethernet cable. The module operates from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). EtherWAN's SFP Series documentation identifies a single +3.3V supply, SFP Multi-Source Agreement compliance, RoHS compliance, and lead-free construction. The SFPTXT1AM does not require a fiber optic connector, optical wavelength, laser transmit power, or optical link budget. Its manufacturer model listing does not indicate Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) or confirm additional Ethernet operating speeds. Compatibility depends on the specific host device, supported transceiver type, electrical power requirements, and copper Ethernet operating mode. Verify the complete installation requirements before ordering.

10G RJ45 Copper Ethernet Connectivity
The SFPTXT1AM is listed in EtherWAN's 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver range and provides an RJ45 electrical interface for compatible network equipment. This allows a supported host to connect to copper Ethernet infrastructure without using an optical transceiver or fiber patch cable. The module's operating mode must be supported by the connected SFP-family host. Physical slot compatibility alone does not guarantee a functioning 10G link.
Up to 100 Meters over Category 6a Cable
EtherWAN specifies a maximum transmission distance of 100 meters, approximately 328 feet, using Category 6a or better twisted-pair cable. This provides a planning reference for compatible copper Ethernet connections between industrial networking devices. Actual performance depends on cable quality, proper terminations, installation conditions, and host equipment capabilities. Confirm the supported distance for the complete system before deployment.
Hardened -40°C to +85°C Operation
The transceiver supports operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for compatible networking equipment used in demanding thermal environments. This hardened rating is particularly relevant to industrial control cabinets and infrastructure installations with wider temperature variations. The host switch, enclosure, power system, and cabling must also meet their own environmental requirements. The module's temperature rating does not establish waterproof protection.
Compact SFP-Family Module Design
The SFPTXT1AM uses an SFP-family transceiver interface for installation in appropriately supported networking equipment. EtherWAN specifies SFP Multi-Source Agreement compliance for its transceiver series. However, host switches may differ in their supported module types, port speeds, firmware, and electrical requirements. Verify the exact host model and manufacturer-supported transceiver configuration rather than relying only on the physical form factor.
Host-Powered 3.3V Transceiver Architecture
EtherWAN identifies a single +3.3V supply for its SFP transceiver series. The module draws operating power from compatible host equipment instead of requiring a separate external power adapter. The published SFPTXT1AM model table does not specify its individual power consumption, so host power compatibility should be confirmed before installation. This is particularly important when selecting 10G copper transceivers for equipment with restricted module support.
Copper Networking with RoHS-Compliant Construction
EtherWAN identifies its SFP transceiver series as RoHS compliant and lead-free. The SFPTXT1AM provides copper Ethernet connectivity rather than optical transmission, so specifications such as wavelength, laser output power, and optical link budget do not apply. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring is not indicated for this exact model in the reviewed manufacturer listing. Network engineers should verify any required module-level monitoring capabilities before deployment.

What is the EtherWAN SFPTXT1AM used for?
The EtherWAN SFPTXT1AM is a hardened RJ45 copper transceiver in EtherWAN's 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP product range. It provides a copper Ethernet connection for compatible switches and networking equipment, with a manufacturer-listed cable distance of up to 100 meters.
Does the SFPTXT1AM support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
EtherWAN lists the SFPTXT1AM in its 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP Series. The host switch or networking device must specifically support this transceiver and its copper Ethernet operating mode. Support for additional speeds is not established in the reviewed model specifications and should not be assumed.
What is the maximum cable distance of the SFPTXT1AM?
EtherWAN specifies a maximum cable distance of 100 meters, approximately 328 feet. Actual performance depends on the compatible host equipment, installed Ethernet cable, connector quality, and overall link configuration. Verify the complete system before planning a connection at the maximum listed distance.
Which Ethernet cable category is required for SFPTXT1AM?
EtherWAN requires Category 6a or better twisted-pair Ethernet cabling for the SFPTXT1AM. The module uses an RJ45 electrical connector rather than an optical LC connector. Confirm cable quality, installation length, and termination before deployment.
What is the operating temperature range of the SFPTXT1AM?
The SFPTXT1AM is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, equivalent to -40°F to +185°F. This hardened rating supports compatible industrial network applications requiring wide temperature tolerance. The host switch and complete installation must also meet their environmental specifications.
Can SFPTXT1AM work with any SFP or SFP+ port?
No. Physical SFP-family compatibility does not guarantee electrical or operational compatibility. The host must support the SFPTXT1AM, its required copper Ethernet operating mode, and its power requirements. Confirm the exact switch model, compatible transceiver specifications, and applicable firmware before installation.
What is the difference between EtherWAN SFPTXT1AM and SFPGXT1AM?
The SFPTXT1AM is listed in EtherWAN's 10-Gigabit Ethernet range and requires Category 6a or better cable. The SFPGXT1AM is a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 SFP module that uses Category 5 or better cable. Both models have a manufacturer-listed maximum distance of 100 meters and a hardened -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Select the model that matches the host port and required Ethernet speed.
