FAQs
Is this module compatible with non-Arista Networks equipment?
While designed and tested for Arista Networks, it may function with other equipment. However, compatibility is not guaranteed and depends on the specific equipment's adherence to SFP standards. For guaranteed compatibility, using it with Arista devices is recommended.
What type of Ethernet cable should I use?
For optimal performance up to the maximum distance of 100 meters, Cat6 or Cat5e Ethernet cables are recommended.
Does this SFP module support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)?
No, this specific copper SFP transceiver module does not feature Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM).
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The maximum data transfer rate is 1250 Mbit/s, supporting 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) Ethernet connections.
Can I install this module while the network device is powered on?
Yes, this SFP module is hot-swappable, meaning it can be installed or removed while the network device is powered on, minimizing network downtime.
What is the warranty period for this product?
StarTech.com SFP modules, including this model, are backed by a lifetime warranty.
What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) for this module?
The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is rated at 510,469,759 hours.
Troubleshooting
Module not detected by the switch/router.
Ensure the module is fully seated in the SFP port. Verify the compatibility of your networking device with Arista-compatible SFPs. Try the module in a different SFP port.
No network connectivity or intermittent connection.
Check that the RJ-45 Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends. Test the cable with another device. Ensure the cable is rated Cat6 or Cat5e and does not exceed 100 meters.
Link speed is lower than expected (e.g., 100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps).
Confirm that both the connected device and the switch port are configured for Gigabit speeds. Ensure the Ethernet cable is in good condition and of appropriate category (Cat6/Cat5e).
