HPE JL747A Aruba 1G SFP RJ45 T 100m Cat5e TAA Transceiver

HPE JL747A – 1 Gb RJ‑45 Copper SFP Transceiver (100 m)

Overview   

The HPE JL747A is a compact SFP‑form‑factor copper transceiver designed for network engineers who need to plug into existing RJ‑45 copper infrastructure while using SFP ports on switches or routers. For example, if you have a backbone switch with spare SFP slots but your endpoint panel uses Cat5e copper runs, this module lets you bridge that gap without switching to fibre. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE‑T) over twisted‑pair cable up to 100 meters. The module is suited for wiring closets or server racks where copper is preferred or already installed and fibre is not necessary. It’s TAA‑compliant, making it an option in procurement scenarios requiring Trade Agreements Act compliance.

Key Features

• 1 Gb‑rated copper transceiver enabling 1000BASE‑T data links over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable up to ~100 m.

• RJ‑45 connector form in SFP module housing—fits into SFP‑slot ports designed for copper SFPs.

• TAA‑compliance for environments where procurement compliance is required.

• Ideal for mixed fibre/copper networks: allows use of copper link segments in switches with SFP ports.

• Minimizes infrastructure change when adding or repurposing SFP slots for copper runs rather than fibre upgrades.
