Copper SFP modules
White Rabbit devices should follow the 1000BASE-BX10 standard and use 1310/1490nm pairs with a single LC fibre-optic connector.
However, for connecting PC network cards to a switch or applications where the high timing resolution of WR is not needed, Gigabit Ethernet copper SFP's may be used. Data transfer will work as expected, but the timing part of White Rabbit will be severely impacted.
The copper SFPs use the 1000BASE-T standard and the same module type can be used on both sides (switch and node).
We have tried the following modules.
