CTP-SFP-1GE-T 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet SFP Module
CTP-SFP-1GE-T is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet module designed for compatible CTP1000 networking equipment. It provides 1Gbps Ethernet connectivity over standard copper twisted-pair cabling, including Cat 5 or better, making it ideal for connecting network equipment over existing copper infrastructure.
Description
The CTP-SFP-1GE-T is a compact Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet module designed to provide high-speed copper network connectivity for compatible CTP1000 equipment.
Unlike fiber-optic SFP modules, the CTP-SFP-1GE-T uses standard copper Ethernet cabling, allowing organizations to connect compatible network devices using existing Cat 5 or better twisted-pair infrastructure. This makes it a practical solution for Gigabit Ethernet deployments where copper connectivity is preferred or already available.
The modular SFP form factor provides flexibility for network administrators who need to select between copper and optical connectivity according to the requirements of their network.

1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet
The CTP-SFP-1GE-T supports 1000BASE-T, the copper-based Gigabit Ethernet standard.
It provides up to 1Gbps Ethernet connectivity using standard twisted-pair copper cabling, making it suitable for a wide range of business and network infrastructure applications.
Typical uses include:
- Switch-to-switch connections
- Network equipment interconnection
- Gigabit Ethernet uplinks
- Enterprise LAN connectivity
- Network aggregation
- Telecommunications infrastructure
- Equipment-room connectivity
Copper Cabling Compatibility
One of the main advantages of the CTP-SFP-1GE-T is its use of copper Ethernet cabling.
The module is designed to work with Cat 5 or better cable, allowing network administrators to take advantage of existing structured cabling infrastructure without requiring fiber-optic cabling for every Gigabit Ethernet connection.
This can be especially useful in environments where copper Ethernet cabling is already installed between network equipment locations.
Small Form-Factor Pluggable Design
The SFP form factor provides a compact and modular method of adding network interfaces to compatible equipment.
This design allows organizations to select the appropriate interface according to their connectivity requirements.
The CTP-SFP-1GE-T can therefore provide a copper alternative to optical SFP modules where the network design calls for Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair cabling.
CTP1000 Compatibility
The CTP-SFP-1GE-T is intended for use with compatible CTP1000 equipment.
Before installation, customers should verify that the specific CTP1000 hardware, interface, and software configuration support the CTP-SFP-1GE-T module.
Compatibility should also be confirmed with the intended Ethernet cabling and network architecture.
Typical Applications
Enterprise Networks
Provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for business and corporate network infrastructure.
Network Equipment Interconnection
Connect compatible network devices using existing copper Ethernet cabling.
Gigabit Ethernet Uplinks
Provide high-speed copper connections between supported networking platforms.
