SFP transceiver CBO 453156-001-BO 1250 Mbit/s Copper, 100 m

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver CBO 453156-001-BO is a compact, hot-pluggable module designed to deliver 1250 Mbit/s data transfer over copper cabling with a maximum reach of 100 m. Intended for installation in standard SFP slots on switches, routers and media converters, this copper SFP provides a straightforward option for establishing short-distance network links and restoring or upgrading existing ports in data center, telecom and office network environments.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver supports hot-swap installation and conforms to common SFP mechanical and electrical specifications, allowing for easy integration into compatible network equipment. Its copper interface eliminates the need for fiber cabling for short links, simplifying installation and reducing material requirements. The module’s compact size conserves space in densely populated rack and chassis configurations while providing a reliable 1.25 Gbit/s-class link suitable for legacy and modern network setups.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between switches and routers within racks or between adjacent racks
• Replacement of faulty or obsolete copper SFP ports in data centers and telecom closets
• Office networks requiring cost-effective 100 m copper connections
• Media converters and edge devices that accept standard SFP copper modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: copper SFP module for RJ-45 connections
• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s-class)
• Maximum reach over copper cabling: up to 100 m (category-appropriate cabling)
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), hot-pluggable
• Operating environment: designed for standard networking equipment temperature and humidity ranges

How to use

Insert the module into an empty SFP port on a powered switch, router or media converter until it latches; the device should detect the module automatically if it supports copper SFPs. Connect a shielded/unshielded twisted-pair copper cable with an RJ-45 connector to the module’s port, ensuring the cable type and category (e.g., Cat5e/Cat6) match the required reach and performance. Monitor the link status through the host device interface and follow any vendor-specific configuration steps if link negotiation or speed settings need adjustment.

Recommendations

Use certified copper cabling of the appropriate category to achieve the specified 100 m reach, avoid exposing the module to extreme temperatures or moisture, and verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP firmware or vendor list before deployment. Routine inspection of connectors and proper handling during hot-plug operations will help maintain reliable network performance.
