1000Base-T Copper SFP Transceiver
DGS-712
The D-Link DGS-712 1000Base-T Copper SFP Transceiver Module is a hot-swappable SFP
(SmallForm-Factor Pluggable) transceiver that plugs into standard SFP slots on switches and
supports Gigabit Ethernet. The DGS-712 oers a wide variety of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
options for data centers, enterprise wiring closets, and service provider transport applications.
The DGS-712 is an external transceiver designed for insertion into SFP slots of network devices
for transmission and reception of data signals from ber ports. These transceivers provide
Gigabit operation and physical compactness to deliver the speed, reliable data transfer, and
deployment exibility that today’s networks require.
Versatile
The DGS-712 provides transmission to up to 100 meters, these highly integrated transceivers
oer low jitter performance for extended optical link support without any degradation in
performance.
Standards Compliant
The DGS-712 transceivers conform to industry standards and are interoperable with D-Link
Gigabit switches and Fast Ethernet switches with Gigabit uplink ports.
Hot Pluggable and Durable
All D-Link transceivers are hot-pluggable. The hotswap capability of the DGS-712 allows
network administrators to plug or unplug them from the SFP slots without having to turn o
the power of the connected device. This permits modules to be added or removed without
interrupting the network. Additionally, the DGS-712 transceivers are cased in an SFP metal
housing to increase durability.
