SFP module CBO SBC-5XXX-SFPCOPPER — copper 1250 Mbit/s, 100 m

SFP CBO SBC-5XXX-SFPCOPPER is a copper SFP transceiver module that supports a 1250 Mbit/s data rate and operates over standard twisted-pair copper cabling for distances up to 100 m. The module is designed for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to provide a 1.25 Gbps link over copper where fiber optics are not required or existing copper infrastructure is to be used.

Advantages

The module provides a compact, hot-pluggable solution for short-range network links, enabling easy uplink or port conversion without the need to change chassis or port hardware. Its support for 1250 Mbit/s ensures compatibility with gigabit-rate interfaces while using common copper UTP/STP cabling to simplify installation and reduce cabling costs. The small form factor SFP design keeps rack density high and allows flexible deployment in mixed fiber/copper environments.

Suitable for

• Uplink ports on Ethernet switches and routers where fiber transceivers are not needed
• Network extension over existing copper cabling within a building or between adjacent rooms
• Media converters and devices requiring a compact 1.25 Gbit/s copper transceiver
• Temporary or test links during network commissioning and maintenance

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Medium: twisted-pair copper (UTP/STP)
• Maximum reach: up to 100 m over standard copper cabling
• Form factor: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable), hot-pluggable
• Connector type: RJ-45 compatible electrical interface
• Typical use: short-distance Ethernet links and uplinks

How to use

Insert the SFP copper transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your switch, router or media converter until it latches. Connect the module to the network using a standard Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 connectors. After insertion and connection, verify link status and speed on the host device; most systems will auto-negotiate the link. If required, configure the port settings on the switch or router according to your network policy (speed, duplex, VLANs, etc.). To remove the module, follow your device’s hot-swap procedure to avoid disrupting traffic or damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver with compatible SFP ports and standard Category 5e/6 copper cabling for reliable operation up to the specified 100 m distance. Avoid exposing the module to excessive moisture, dust, or mechanical stress. For longer runs or electromagnetic interference-prone environments, consider using fiber optic transceivers instead of copper.
