StarTech.com Extreme Networks 10070H Compatible SFP Module - 1000BASE-T - 1GE Gigabit Ethernet SFP to RJ45 Cat6/Cat5e Transceiver - 100m

The StarTech.com 10070H-ST is an Extreme Networks 10070H-compatible 1GbE copper SFP transceiver with an RJ-45 port, suited to network administrators connecting compatible Extreme Networks switches or routers to Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet runs up to 100 m.

Recommended For

• Network administrators adding a 1GbE RJ-45 connection to a compatible Extreme Networks switch or router with an available SFP slot, especially when the existing link uses Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.
• IT teams extending a switch connection to a wired endpoint or wiring closet over an existing copper run, within the module’s 100 m (328 ft) 1GbE limit.
• Network technicians replacing or adding an SFP in a compatible Extreme Networks device who want a hot-swappable copper module for a 1GbE link.
• Teams reusing installed copper Ethernet infrastructure when they need an RJ-45 uplink from an SFP-equipped switch, rather than installing a fiber run for that link.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When an Extreme Networks switch has an available SFP slot but the device at the other end uses Ethernet, install the module and connect it with an RJ45 cable. This provides a copper network connection without needing a fiber link, provided the switch supports the module.
• When a network closet already has copper cabling to a switch or other Ethernet endpoint, use this module to connect that run through an SFP slot instead of replacing it with fiber. The expected experience is a standard gigabit copper link within the cable’s supported distance.
• When connecting a nearby switch, server, or other Ethernet device to an SFP-equipped switch, use the module at the SFP end and a normal RJ45 cable between devices. This is useful when the equipment has copper Ethernet ports but the available switch port is SFP; confirm the switch supports the module before deployment.
• When replacing a compatible copper SFP in a switch or router, the hot-swappable design lets a technician change the module without removing the entire device from service. The network may still experience a brief interruption on that connection while the module is replaced.
