The D-Link DGS-712 Gigabit Ethernet SFP Module is based on the SFP Multi Source Agreement (MSA). It is compatible with the Gigabit Ethernet and 1000BASE-T standards as specified in IEEE Std 802.3z and IEEE Std 802.3ab. The 1000BASE-T physical layer IC (PHY) can be accessed via I2C, allowing access to all PHY settings and features.

• Supports cost-efficient twisted pair cables for high-speed data transfer up to 100 meters
• Up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet connection and provides high-performance
• With 1000Base-T technology, get up to 1000Mbps data transfer rate over twisted pair cable
