1000Base-T Copper SFP Transceiver
DGS-712
The D-Link DGS-712 1000Base-T Copper SFP Transceiver Module is a hot-swappable SFP
(SmallForm-Factor Pluggable) transceiver that plugs into standard SFP slots on switches and
supports Gigabit Ethernet. The DGS-712 oers 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
oer 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.
