SFP transceiver CBO F5UPGSFPC-R 1250 Mbit/s copper, 100 m

The BlueOptics SFP transceiver CBO F5UPGSFPC-R is a compact copper SFP module supporting a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a transmission range up to 100 m over standard twisted-pair cabling. Intended for insertion into SFP ports of switches, routers and media converters, this transceiver provides a standard electrical interface for short-range Ethernet links and industrial network segments where fibre is not required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver combines a small form factor with plug-and-play compatibility, allowing fast replacement or upgrade of existing copper SFP modules without system configuration changes. It supports the common 1250 Mbit/s single-rate interface for smooth integration into Gigabit-capable infrastructures and reduces the need for spare fibre hardware when short copper links are sufficient. The module’s design is suitable for space-constrained networking equipment and typical structured cabling environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect the copper patch cable to the transceiver’s RJ-45 port and ensure the opposite device is powered and configured for the corresponding link speed. Typical operation requires no additional software; the host device should recognise the module and negotiate the link at the supported 1250 Mbit/s rate or an appropriate compatible speed.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use quality Category 5e or better twisted-pair cabling and keep link distances within the specified 100 m. Check device documentation for SFP compatibility and hot-swap guidelines before insertion or removal. Ensure ESD precautions when handling the module and avoid exposing it to excessive dust, moisture or temperature extremes.
