SFP and SFP+ Module Cabling
Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for reliable
communications, the cable must not exceed the required cable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP
transceivers use standard four twisted-pair, Category 5 (or greater) cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100
meters).
