Copper SFP module CBO 722872 — 1250 Mbit/s, up to 100 m

The Copper SFP module CBO 722872 is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver designed for 1250 Mbit/s data transmission over standard copper cabling with a maximum reach of 100 m. It is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to provide a copper-based uplink or network interface. The module’s small form factor supports easy installation and replacement without powering down the host device.

Advantages

The module supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate over copper cable and delivers up to 100 m of reach, enabling short-reach copper connectivity in data center top-of-rack and campus wiring environments. Its hot-pluggable design reduces maintenance windows, while the industry-standard SFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with networking equipment that accepts SFP copper transceivers. The product provides a practical alternative when fiber connections are not required or existing copper infrastructure is available.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between switches and routers within the same rack or floor
• Connecting media converters to copper-based network segments
• Replacing or expanding SFP copper ports in managed and unmanaged switches
• Temporary backup links or lab and testing setups requiring quick swaps

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Maximum reach over copper cabling: up to 100 m
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Connector type: copper RJ-45 compatible interface (module provides copper physical layer)
• Typical application: uplink and network interface for switches, routers and media converters

How to use

Install the Copper SFP module into an empty compatible SFP port on the host device until it latches. Connect standard twisted-pair copper cable to the module’s copper interface and verify link status via the host device LEDs or management interface. The module is designed for hot-plug operation, so it can be inserted or removed while the host remains powered, but follow your equipment manufacturer’s guidance for safe hot-swap procedures. Use network management tools to configure speed and duplex settings if required by the switch or router.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use quality Category-rated copper cabling appropriate for the 1250 Mbit/s data rate and limit cable runs to the specified maximum of 100 m. Verify compatibility with the host device’s supported SFP transceiver list and ensure firmware or driver support where applicable. Handle the module by its housing and store unused modules in antistatic packaging.
