Lenovo 1G RJ45 ISCSI SFP+ network transceiver module Copper 1000 Mbit/s SFP+

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £137.50 ex-VAT, this is the kind of SFP+ copper module you buy when you *know* you’re matching the exact iSCSI/switch/server requirement and you want something boringly dependable rather than “experimenting” with compatibility. Lenovo’s modules are usually a safe bet in Lenovo environments, and copper SFP+ tends to be a good value when you’ve got short runs in the same rack or close by—lower hassle than fibre, and simpler install. If you’re building or expanding an iSCSI SAN on supported Lenovo switches/hosts, this fits neatly and you’ll typically avoid the headache of “works in one box, fails in another”.

I’d be cautious if you’re using non-Lenovo networking gear, mixed vendor optics, or you don’t have the exact port/module guidance from your hardware documentation. Copper SFP+ can be picky—sometimes it’s firmware/platform dependent, and sometimes it’s just strict about module type and expected link behavior—so if compatibility isn’t guaranteed, you may end up paying for downtime or returns. In short: buy it if you’re staying within a Lenovo-supported iSCSI/SFP+ setup and you need a straightforward copper link; skip it if you’re trying to solve an unknown compatibility problem on different hardware.
