Product SKU: Ruijie MINI-GBIC-GT
Product Overview
The Ruijie MINI-GBIC-GT 1000BASE-T SFP Copper RJ45 Transceiver Module is a network accessory designed to provide copper Ethernet connectivity through a compatible SFP port. It supports 1.25Gbps data transmission, RJ45 copper interface connectivity, hot-pluggable installation and up to 100m transmission range, making it suitable for switches, uplink ports, network expansion and structured cabling environments. The compact SFP form factor allows installers to add Gigabit copper connectivity where fibre is not required. This model is best selected where a compatible Ruijie switch or SFP-enabled device needs 1000BASE-T RJ45 Ethernet connectivity over standard copper cabling.
Key Capabilities
1000BASE-T Copper Connectivity
The MINI-GBIC-GT enables Gigabit Ethernet copper connectivity through a compatible SFP slot using an RJ45 interface.
1.25Gbps Data Transmission
1.25Gbps transmission support makes the module suitable for Gigabit uplinks and compatible network switching applications.
RJ45 Copper Interface
The RJ45 interface allows compatible switches to connect with standard copper Ethernet cabling rather than fibre optic cabling.
Hot-Pluggable Design
The hot-pluggable form factor supports easier installation and replacement in compatible SFP-enabled networking equipment.
Up to 100m Range
Up to 100m transmission range supports typical copper Ethernet runs when suitable cabling and compatible network equipment are used.
Best For
- Switch Uplink Connections: Suitable for adding Gigabit RJ45 uplink connectivity to compatible SFP switch ports.
- Copper Network Expansion: Practical where an SFP port needs to connect to standard Ethernet cabling.
- Structured Cabling Installations: Useful for rack, cabinet and network room deployments using copper patch leads or horizontal cabling.
- Ruijie Network Accessories: A good option for compatible Ruijie switches and devices requiring a 1000BASE-T SFP copper module.
- Short-to-Medium Ethernet Runs: Best where copper Ethernet connectivity is required up to 100m rather than fibre transmission.
Why Choose the MINI-GBIC-GT
The MINI-GBIC-GT is a practical choice when a compatible SFP-enabled switch needs standard RJ45 copper Ethernet connectivity. Its 1000BASE-T support and 1.25Gbps transmission capability make it suitable for Gigabit networking, while the hot-pluggable design helps simplify installation and servicing. The 100m range suits common copper Ethernet cabling layouts across cabinets, offices, security networks and structured cabling systems. For systems supplied through Security Wholesalers, this transceiver should be selected after confirming switch compatibility, SFP port support, copper cabling quality, required transmission distance, network speed requirements and whether copper or fibre is the better connection method.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the MINI-GBIC-GT when you need a 1000BASE-T SFP copper RJ45 transceiver module with 1.25Gbps data transmission, hot-pluggable design and up to 100m range.
Installation Tip: Confirm SFP port compatibility, switch firmware support, cable category, link distance, speed requirements and whether the network requires copper RJ45 or fibre optic transceiver connectivity.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a Ruijie 1000BASE-T SFP copper RJ45 transceiver module with 1.25Gbps transmission, hot-pluggable installation and up to 100m range.
- Choose a different transceiver if: The installation needs fibre optic connectivity, longer transmission distance, multi-gigabit speed, single-mode fibre, multimode fibre, a different wavelength or a vendor-specific module for another switch platform.
- Check before ordering: Confirm SFP port support, switch compatibility, cable category, transmission distance, link speed, port configuration and whether 1000BASE-T copper is suitable for the network design.
FAQs
- What is the Ruijie MINI-GBIC-GT used for?
The MINI-GBIC-GT is used to add 1000BASE-T RJ45 copper Ethernet connectivity to a compatible SFP-enabled switch or network device. It is useful when a switch has an SFP slot but the installation requires standard copper Ethernet cabling. - What speed does this transceiver support?
The MINI-GBIC-GT supports 1.25Gbps data transmission, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networking in compatible equipment. - What connector does it use?
This module uses an RJ45 copper Ethernet interface, allowing it to connect with standard Ethernet cabling rather than fibre optic cable. - How far can the MINI-GBIC-GT transmit?
The module supports up to 100m transmission range when used with suitable copper Ethernet cabling and compatible network equipment. - What does hot-pluggable mean?
Hot-pluggable means the module is designed to be inserted or removed from compatible equipment without fully disassembling the device. Installation should still follow the switch manufacturer’s handling and safety guidance. - Can this module be used with any switch?
No. It should only be used with compatible SFP-enabled switches or network devices that support this type of 1000BASE-T copper transceiver. For systems supplied through Security Wholesalers, switch compatibility should be checked before ordering. - When should I choose copper instead of fibre?
Choose copper when the link distance is within the supported 100m range and the network cabling uses RJ45 Ethernet. Fibre is usually better for longer runs, electrical isolation, backbone links or environments where copper cabling is not suitable. - What should be checked before installation?
Before installation, confirm SFP port compatibility, supported transceiver type, required link speed, cable category, cable length, port configuration, switch firmware support, network design and whether copper RJ45 or fibre optic connectivity is the correct choice.
