The IBM 00FE333 is a refurbished RJ-45 SFP transceiver module that converts a standard SFP slot into a 1000BASE-T copper Ethernet interface over twisted-pair cabling. Specified as “No 10/100mbit”, it is intended for environments standardised on 1GbE operation rather than mixed-speed negotiation. This makes it a practical option for short-run copper links in racks, server rooms, and data centers where fiber is not required.
It is commonly deployed to add copper downlinks from SFP-capable SWITCH platforms, or to provide an RJ-45 handoff from SFP-equipped NETWORK MODULE and NETWORK ADAPTER configurations. As an IBM-branded part, it fits well into spare-part strategies for installed IBM networking ecosystems where consistent optics/module sourcing matters.
Key Features
Key technical characteristics for planning and integration are listed below.
- RJ-45 SFP transceiver form factor to convert an SFP port into a copper Ethernet interface for structured cabling deployments.
- 1000BASE-T (1GbE) operation only (no 10/100 Mbps) to match networks standardised on Gigabit Ethernet links.
- Copper connectivity over twisted-pair cabling to simplify patching and moves/changes within a rack or wiring closet.
- SFP hot-pluggable module design to enable quick media changes without replacing the host device.
- Compatible with IBM SFP-based hardware to support maintenance, sparing, and like-for-like replacements in IBM environments.
- Example compatibility with IBM switch families using standard SFP slots (e.g., IBM RackSwitch-class systems) to add RJ-45 connectivity at the access or aggregation edge.
- Example compatibility with IBM server and blade networking I/O options that expose SFP ports (e.g., IBM Flex System networking modules/adapters) for copper handoff to top-of-rack infrastructure.
- Designed for continuous operation in professional IT environments to support 24/7 network availability expectations.
Refurbished Quality and Warranty
This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished transceivers are a cost-controlled way to extend the lifecycle of existing SFP-based infrastructure while reducing electronic waste.
All products include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives, and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware, shipping worldwide from Denmark.
