Copper SFP transceiver CBO 453154-B21-BO 1250 Mbit/s, 100 m

Copper SFP transceiver CBO 453154-B21-BO 1250 Mbit/s, 100 m is a small form-factor pluggable module from BlueOptics designed for short-range copper links at a 1.25 Gbit/s data rate. The module supports hot-pluggable insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and server network interface cards, providing a standardized copper uplink or edge connection for network upgrades and replacements that require a 1.25 Gbps copper SFP interface.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor with hot-swap capability, simplifying field installation and maintenance without powering down connected equipment. With a supported data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a reach of up to 100 m over copper cabling, it provides a practical option for short-range links inside wiring closets or between adjacent racks. The BlueOptics design follows industry SFP electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring wide compatibility with networking equipment that accepts standard SFP copper modules.

Suitable for

• Short-range uplinks between switches and routers within the same building or data center
• Server NICs requiring a 1.25 Gbps copper SFP interface
• Network upgrades or replacements where fiber is unnecessary or copper is preferred
• Edge devices and access-layer connections in enterprise and SMB networks

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Maximum link distance: up to 100 m over copper cabling
• Interface: copper (electrical) connection for twisted-pair cabling
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP module into an available SFP port on a compatible switch, router or server NIC while the device is powered on; the hot-pluggable design allows insertion and removal without shutting down the host device. Connect the copper patch cable to the module’s RJ-45 or electrical interface as required by the port type and verify link status via the host device’s management interface. Configure port settings such as speed, duplex and auto-negotiation according to network design and equipment capabilities.

Recommendations

Use quality Category-rated copper cabling appropriate for gigabit/small-form-factor links and keep cable runs within the specified 100 m distance to ensure reliable performance. Check equipment compatibility and firmware support for third-party SFP modules when planning deployments, and follow anti-static handling procedures during installation.
