Converts an SFP slot into an RJ45 Ethernet port with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s. The Intellinet Mini-GBIC transceivers offer one of the best price-performance ratios in the industry. The biggest advantage is the crucial compatibility in networks. Unlike many other suppliers, Intellinet GBICs are not only compatible with their own brand switches but also with other MSA-compliant brands and universally with all Cisco switches. The physical quality is equally impressive – the metal housing reduces electromagnetic interference and increases the product's lifespan. This Intellinet Gigabit SFP Mini-GBIC transceiver provides RJ45 connectivity with up to 1000 Mbit/s at an SFP slot. This allows either a Fast Ethernet switch to be upgraded to Gigabit speed on one port or a Gigabit switch to be expanded with an additional 1000 Mbit/s port. Hot-pluggable: This Mini-GBIC is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be installed without needing to restart the network switch. This ensures that traffic in your business is not interrupted.
