Can F5 11050 support 1GBit Eth copper?

Hi Gazi,

 

 

SFP-C Copper SFP Transceiver (UTP Connector) is what F5 refers to as F5 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T Copper SFP modules and they comply with IEEE standards 802.3ab (1000BASE-T).

 

 

The following specifications are for the available Copper Gigabit Ethernet modules and the platforms that support those modules.

 

Important: 1000Base-T network segments have a maximum length of 100 meters (328 feet) and must use Category 5 cable minimum. F5 recommends Category 5e or Category 6.
