What Is an SFP Port on a Gigabit Switch?
These ports allow Gigabit switches to connect via either fiber optic cables or copper cables, depending on the type of SFP module inserted. This

The inserted SFP module converts the signal into optical signals for fiber transmission or electrical signals for copper Ethernet connections. Copper SFP modules help organizations leverage an existing copper infrastructure, not only saving the cost of rewiring, but also continuing the ever-changing world of optical fiber. To learn about practical adapter solutions that enable flexible network designs integrating both copper and fiber. Instead of integrating a fixed network port such as RJ45 directly onto the device, an SFP interface provides a slot. RJ45 port, as a built-in port of Gigabit Ethernet switch, simplifies the connection process of two RJ45 ports.
