Copper SFP Differences

Hi all,

I searched for copper SFP and find this doc:

https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/hw-platforms/f5-plat-accessories/title-transceivers.html

What is the difference between OPT-0051 and OPT-0015?

Thanks in advance.

  • you can only order using the sku id: F5-UPG-SFPC-R

    0015 or 0051 will be just fine.
    1 Gbps copper is quite old tech which compatibility is no longer issue.

  • Hi MC-28,

    he OPT-0051-xx and OPT-0015-xx are both specifications for the 1000BASE-T Copper Ethernet transceiver module. They are equivalent in function, what I understand these 051 or 015 codes can be country specific based on the product manufacturing

    Here's some information about the OPT-0051-xx:
    Features:
    Hot pluggable SFP copper transceiver module
    Data rate up to 1.25Gbps
    Small Form factor Pluggable
    Operates over Cooper Twisted Pair Cable
    Maximum distance up to 100 m
    IEEE 1000BASE-T standard
    RJ45 Twisted Pair fiber optic patch cable
    Type: SFP
    Compatibility: F5 Networks compatible
    Media Type: Twisted Pair Cable
    Max. Distance: 100 m
    Data Rate: 10/100/1000 Mbps
    Temperature:Standard 0°-70°C

     


    Here's some information about the OPT-0015-xx:
    Features:
    1000BASE-T Copper SFP Transceiver
    Receiver sensitivity verified at both minimum distance and the 100m maximum range
    Proper operation across its full operating temperature range, 0C to 50C
    Support Up to 1.25Gb/s data links
    Compliant with SFP MSA standard
    Compliant with IEEE 802.3z
    Hot-pluggable SFP footprint
    Single 3.3V power supply
    The compact RJ-45 connector assembly
    Low power dissipation
    The metal enclosure provides lower EMI
    ROHS compliant and Lead-Free
    1000 BASE-T operation in host systems with SERDES interface

      Hi F5_Design_Engineer,

       

      Customer needs one of them but both of them has same SKU. They need to be sure that the y order right SFP.

       

      So i need to confirm from some of f5 documents or article or some kind of this.

       

      Thanks
