D-Link DGS-712 – 1000BASE-T Copper 100M SFP Transceiver with RJ45 Connector, 1Gbps Speed, Hot-Pluggable Design & MSA Compliance
Overview:
• The D-Link DGS-712 is a 1000BASE-T Copper SFP Transceiver designed to provide Gigabit Ethernet copper connectivity through an SFP slot.
• It supports 1Gbps speed over standard copper network cabling, with a transmission distance up to 100 meters.
• The module uses an RJ45 connector and supports Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 cable types.
• It is hot-pluggable, allowing installation or replacement while the compatible switch or media converter is powered on, reducing downtime during maintenance.
• The DGS-712 operates with 3.3V power supply, and is MSA compliant and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for professional Gigabit network expansion and copper uplink applications.
