SFP module CBO SFP-1GTXRJ45-T-BO Copper 1 Gbit/s, RJ45, up to 100 m

The CBO SFP-1GTXRJ45-T-BO is a compact BlueOptics SFP copper transceiver that delivers 1 Gbit/s Ethernet connectivity over standard Cat5/6 cabling through an RJ45 interface. Designed for hot-pluggable SFP slots, this module enables short-distance copper links up to 100 m and integrates with switches, routers and media converters to convert SFP ports to copper Ethernet. The transceiver is intended for network uplinks, server connections and simple port upgrades where a fiber-to-copper transition is required.

Advantages

This SFP module offers plug-and-play installation for rapid deployment and replacement in active network equipment. Its RJ45 copper interface supports common twisted-pair cabling and provides a cost-effective alternative to optical modules for short runs. Compatibility with standard SFP ports and support for 1 Gbit/s data rates allow straightforward integration into existing network architectures without additional cabling changes or converters.

How to use

Insert the SFP-1GTXRJ45-T-BO module into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the device is powered on or off, observing electrostatic discharge precautions. Connect a Cat5/5e/6 RJ45 patch cable between the module and the remote Ethernet device. Ensure the host port supports SFP copper modules and configure the network interface if necessary for speed and duplex settings. Monitor link/activity LEDs on the host device to confirm an established connection.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables for reliable 1 Gbit/s performance and keep cable runs within the 100 m limit. Verify host equipment compatibility with copper SFP modules and update firmware if required to ensure stable operation. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and handle the module by its housing to prevent connector contamination.
