1000BASE-TX SFP copper module

The RUCKUS WIRELESS E1MGTXA is a small form-factor pluggable transceiver that delivers a 1000BASE-TX copper link over an RJ-45 connector. It is built for network engineers who need to add a Gigabit Ethernet port to a switch or router that accepts SFP modules. The unit is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and regulated procurements. New condition ensures full manufacturer specification compliance.

Replaces optical SFP for copper patching

This transceiver replaces a fibre-based SFP when the link endpoint uses twisted-pair cabling instead of optical fibre. The jump is worth it when the existing infrastructure is Category 5e or better copper and the run stays within the standard distance for 1000BASE-T. It avoids the cost and complexity of media converters or new fibre pulls. The module fits any standard SFP cage that supports the 1000BASE-TX pinout.

Hot-plug install into SFP cage

Installation is a hot-plug action: slide the module into an open SFP slot until it clicks, then connect the RJ-45 patch cord. No tools or software configuration are required on the transceiver itself. The most common issue is a port speed or duplex mismatch caused by the host device not auto-negotiating correctly. Verify that the switch port is set to auto or forced to 1000 Mbps full duplex before assuming a hardware fault.

Questions about this item

Does the E1MGTXA fit a standard SFP cage and accept an RJ-45 cable?

Yes, the module plugs into any SFP slot and provides an RJ-45 connector for 1000BASE-TX copper links.

What is the correct way to insert the transceiver so the latch engages?

Slide the E1MGTXA straight into the cage until the spring latch clicks, then secure the cable before removing the dust cap.

How long can the 1000BASE-TX SFP run before it needs replacement?

The transceiver is rated for continuous operation at up to 45 °C ambient temperature with no scheduled replacement interval.
