Networking Accessories FAQs
What is an SFP module used for?
An SFP or Mini GBIC module plugs into a switch’s SFP slot to add a fibre uplink, converting the switch port to run over singlemode or multimode fibre instead of copper.
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode SFP modules?
Multimode modules, covering OM1, OM3 and OM4 fibre in this range, suit shorter runs, while singlemode modules are matched to singlemode fibre for longer distance links. Match the module to the fibre already installed.
What are powerline kits used for?
Powerline kits send a network connection over existing electrical wiring in a building, giving a wired connection to a room without running new network cable.
