SFP/SFP+ Modules
MEDIACONVERTER
Technica Engineering’s automotive SFP/SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules offer reliable, high-performance automotive Ethernet solutions for in-vehicle networks. The SFP/SFP+ modules lineup covers different speed rates ranging from 100Mbps/1Gbps to 10Gbps and covering all point-to-point automotive ethernet standards. Designed with H-MTD connectors, these modules ensure durability under and assure integration flexibility.
Configuration
A key advantage of the SFP/SFP+ modules is the straightforward configuration they provide, with four DIP switches to define the default configurations at start-up time between different modes.
Multigigabit SFP+ Module:
DIP Switch 1: Master/Slave
DIP Switch 2: 10G/other
DIP Switch 3: 2.5G/5G
DIP Switch 4: Reserved
100/1000BASE-T1 SFP Module:
Dip switch 1: Master/Slave
Dip switch 2: 100/1000 Mbit/s
Dip switch 3: Reserved
Dip switch 4: Reserved
The modules also a include the key I2C-to-MDIO gateway feature, which enables advanced Ethernet PHY management by allowing access to the underlying PHY registers via the I2C bus. It also adds a custom implementation to change the DIP switches default status at run-time so system integrator can change dynamically between PHY configurations offered by Technica, overriding default configuration status set in the physical DIP switches, and without needing the register-level complete technical information from the PHY manufacturer*.

The lineup of Technica Engineering’s automotive SFP/SFP+ modules offer a solution to convert between 100/1000BASE-T1 or 2.5/5/10GBASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet and a host high-speed electrical interface at 1Gbps or 10Gbps compliant with SFF-8431 standard for SFP/SFP+ modules
The SFP Modules can be used with any type of hardware products offering suitable SFP slots to add Automotive Ethernet interfaces at different speeds. Their hot-swappable nature ensures minimal downtime during testing or production changes, making them essential in test benches, simulation environments, and automotive production networks.
In compliance with SFF-8472 standard, modules contain a memory map with device information at I2C address 0xA0, so system integrator can identify the TE-1441 or TE-1445 device and make any custom implementations on top of it.
The SFP Module can also be easily used together with other Technica Engineering products, like the Switch-based products. For example, it can be plugged into an Enhanced Ethernet Switch to add another 100/1000 Mbit/s Automotive Ethernet port.
