HPE J8177-61401 

1000Base‑T SFP (RJ‑45 Cat5e Copper) Transceiver module

The HPE Aruba J8177‑61401 (also known as J8177D) is a compact SFP RJ‑45 copper transceiver supporting 1 Gigabit Ethernet over Cat5e/Cat6 cabling up to 100 meters. Designed for compatibility with Aruba and HPE switches featuring SFP ports, this module enables reliable, low-latency network connectivity without the need for fiber optics. It is ideal for campus access-layer uplinks, server room switch links, or extending copper infrastructure in SMB and enterprise networks. Plug-and-play and hot-swappable, it allows rapid deployment while maintaining consistent gigabit performance across copper cabling environments.

Features

This module adheres to the IEEE 1000Base-T standard, enabling seamless Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper wiring. Its RJ‑45 connector supports Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable, ensuring compatibility with existing copper infrastructure and delivering up to 1 Gbps throughput over distances of up to 100 m (≈328 ft) The module consumes very low power (under 1 W), minimizing thermal impact in dense switch environments. Its compact design maintains airflow and is fully compliant with RoHS and WEEE standards. Plug-and-play support ensures productivity without configuration hurdles. The SFP form factor enables hot-swapping and easy installation into Aruba Instant On, OfficeConnect, and enterprise-grade switch models without service interruption.

Advanced Options

Built for stable gigabit connectivity on copper wiring, this compact SFP module offers consistent throughput with minimal power draw (~<1 W). Its low-power profile supports dense port installations without raising switch temperature or fan load.
