SFP copper transceiver CBO SFP-1G-T-DE-BO, 1 Gbit/s, 100 m

CBO SFP-1G-T-DE-BO is a copper SFP transceiver that supports 1 Gbit/s data rate over standard Ethernet copper cabling with a reach up to 100 m. Designed for 1000BASE-T links, the module allows conversion of an SFP or SFP+ port to an RJ45 copper connection. It is hot-pluggable and intended for use in switches, routers and media converters to restore or extend copper Ethernet connectivity without changing the host device.

Advantages

The transceiver provides a compact, hot-swappable solution for adding or repairing copper Ethernet ports while maintaining 1 Gbit/s performance over Cat5e/Cat6 cabling up to 100 m. Its compatibility with standard 1000BASE-T signaling ensures interoperability with a wide range of network hardware. The small form factor conserves module slots and simplifies on-site maintenance by avoiding full equipment replacement.

Suitable for

• Converting SFP/SFP+ slots to RJ45 copper ports in switches and routers
• Restoring network connectivity after damaged or failed copper ports
• Temporary or permanent uplinks and access links in enterprise and SMB networks
• Media converters and patch panels requiring 1 Gbit/s copper interfaces

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbit/s (1000BASE-T)
• Interface: RJ45 (copper)
• Maximum reach over copper cabling: up to 100 m
• Form factor: SFP hot-pluggable module
• Cabling type: CAT5e/CAT6 or equivalent
• Supported link modes: Auto-negotiation for speed and duplex

How to use

Insert the SFP copper transceiver into an available SFP or SFP+ slot on the network device while the device is powered on or during maintenance windows as supported by the equipment. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable between the transceiver and the remote device; the module will negotiate link parameters automatically with the connected port. Monitor link LEDs or device management interfaces to verify operational status and adjust configuration if necessary through the host device.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables that meet Cat5e/Cat6 specifications and limit cable runs to 100 m to maintain reliable 1 Gbit/s performance. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-T over SFP modules and check for any vendor-specific compatibility notes before deployment. For environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cabling and proper grounding.
