BlueOptics GLC-T2-BO network transceiver module Copper 1000 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics GLC-T2-BO network transceiver module Copper 1000 Mbit/s SFP is a compact SFP device engineered for gigabit Ethernet over copper. Designed to fit standard SFP ports, this module supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and provides a straightforward, hot-pluggable solution for upgrading or expanding network equipment. The module's silver housing complies with RoHS requirements and is intended for use in switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP copper transceivers.

Advantages

The BlueOptics GLC-T2-BO offers a simple way to add or replace a copper gigabit link without changing existing cabling or infrastructure. Its SFP form factor allows flexible deployment in chassis-based and standalone network devices. With support for 1000 Mbit/s operation, the module enables full-duplex gigabit performance where compatible. The silver, compact housing provides reliable mechanical compatibility and passive cooling in typical networking environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics GLC-T2-BO into an empty SFP cage on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the host device is powered on or off according to the host manufacturer's guidelines. Connect a suitable Cat5e/Cat6 copper cable to the module's RJ45 interface. The host device should detect the transceiver and negotiate link speed and duplex automatically; verify link status through the device management interface or front-panel LEDs. Follow your network device's documentation if firmware or configuration adjustments are required for third-party SFP modules.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables meeting Cat5e or higher specifications for reliable gigabit performance. For optimal results, ensure the host device supports third-party SFP copper modules and keep firmware up to date. Avoid exposing the module to extreme temperatures or mechanical shock during installation.
