MOLEX 74741

1000Base-T RJ-45 Gigabit
Ethernet SFP Copper
Transceiver
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The 1000Base-T RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet SFP copper
transceiver module is a high-performance integrated
duplex data link for bi-directional communication over
Category 5 copper cable. The hot-pluggable feature
allows changing to and from another SFP-compatible
module without having to remove system power. Serial
ID is included.
74741
Molex’s RJ-45 SFP module provides multiple customerfriendly features. A link monitor detects loss of signals.
The Serial ID allows individual identification of each
SFP transceiver. An auto-power saving mode conserves
energy. The centered RJ-45 modular jack conforms to
a 1U rack for ease of installation, and its design allows
side-by-side stacking for increased density.

FEATURES
SFP Mode
When the internal Gigabit Ethernet transceiver (PHY)
is configured to SFP mode, the PHY interfaces directly
with the host serial/deserial (SerDes) interface. The
host interface transmits and receives serial data
differentially at 1.25 Gbps. The copper interface is
full featured and advertises full/half duplex, and
1000Base-T wire speed.
Auto-Negotiation
The Category 5 copper link negotiates according to
the IEEE 802.3 Clause 28, and the SerDes interface
negotiates using Clause 37. The two interfaces
advertise 1000Base-T full-duplex, and master/slave
relationships. The master establishes the time control
from its local clock source. The slave, however,
recovers the clock from the received data stream. The
SFP application is limited to 1000Base-T wire speed
only. Auto-negotiation on the SerDes link is always
restarted when a change is detected on copper link.
The SFP 1000Base-T features a Serial Interface
(SerDes) Auto-Negotiation Bypass mode. This mode
disables auto-negotiation after 200ms of unsuccessful
attempts with the host, without the need for manually
configuring the auto-negotiation parameters. The
Molex SFP 1000Base-T module will transmit data with
auto-negotiation disabled.
Automatic MDI Crossover
The SFP 1000Base-T transceiver performs a MDI
crossover during auto-negotiation, eliminating the need
for crossover cables or cross-wired (MDIX) ports.

Automatic Polarity Correction
Should the polarity of receive signals inadvertently
become reversed, the SFP 1000Base-T will
automatically correct them based on the sequence of
idle signals received.
Auto Power Savings Mode
When the copper link is lost, the SFP automatically
enters a low power mode, reducing the chip power
requirements. Full power mode resumes once the
copper link is re-established.
Serial ID
Serial identification is implemented on the SFP
1000Base-T transceiver. The serial protocol uses a
two-wire I2C interface.
Software Reconfigurable
The SFP 1000Base-T is hardware configured on powerup. The configuration can be changed by a register
write via a two-wire bus (I2C) at any time. For further
details, refer to the Molex SFP 1000Base-T software
configuration application note.
