Transceiver module Copper D-Link DGS-712

The D-Link DGS-712 is a copper SFP transceiver module that supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet over standard Category 5 twisted-pair copper cabling. Compliant with the SFP Multi Source Agreement and IEEE 802.3z/802.3ab standards, this compact module enables Gigabit transmission up to 100 metres and is designed for insertion into any standard SFP interface.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a simple plug-in solution for adding 1000 Mbit/s copper connectivity to switches and media converters. With a small form factor and a weight of approximately 20 g, the module is easy to install and replace. Compatibility with established IEEE standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Adding Gigabit copper ports to switches with SFP slots
• Short-distance backbone or access links up to 100 m
• Media converters and network equipment requiring 1000BASE-T SFP modules

How to use

Power off the host device if recommended by the manufacturer, insert the DGS-712 module into an available standard SFP slot until it seats firmly, then connect a Category 5/5e/6 copper Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector on the module. Power on the host device and verify link/activity LEDs or management interface to confirm the 1000BASE-T connection. When removing the module, follow the host device instructions to avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

Install the module in devices that support SFP copper transceivers and use quality Category 5e or better cabling for reliable Gigabit performance; observe ESD precautions during handling and consult the host equipment documentation for any firmware or compatibility notes.
