BlueOptics SFP-1G-COPPER-BO network transceiver module Fiber optic SFP 100m

The BlueOptics SFP-1G-COPPER-BO network transceiver module is a compact SFP-form factor 1000BASE-T copper transceiver designed for short-range Ethernet links. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 grams, it provides a space-saving way to add Gigabit copper connectivity where an SFP slot is available. The module supports data transmission at up to 1.25 Gbps and is specified for reliable operation up to 100 metres over twisted-pair cabling when used according to standard Ethernet installation practices.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP-1G-COPPER-BO module follows industry MSA SFP form-factor conventions and offers a compact, hot-pluggable solution for adding copper Gigabit ports to switches, routers and other networking equipment. Its aluminium case gives mechanical durability while keeping the module light. Designed for straightforward integration, the transceiver supports standard 1000BASE-T electrical signalling for use with common Cat5e/Cat6 cabling and provides a cost-effective option for short-distance network extensions.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-1G-COPPER-BO into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered on or during a maintenance window according to vendor guidance for hot-pluggable modules. Connect a suitable Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cable to the module's RJ45 interface and to the remote device. Ensure the network device is configured for 1000BASE-T operation or auto-negotiation as required by your environment. Verify link and speed indicators on both ends to confirm successful link establishment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 patch cables, ensure proper cable termination and avoid runs that exceed 100 metres. Verify compatibility with the host device's SFP slot and firmware; if necessary, test a sample module in your specific hardware to confirm full interoperability before wide deployment.
