Copper SFP Transceiver BlueOptics 3CSFP93 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 3CSFP93 is a copper SFP transceiver designed for network applications requiring a compact, hot-pluggable module with an SFP interface. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s, this transceiver provides a straightforward copper connection option for switches, routers and other compatible networking equipment. The module is intended for use where reliable short-reach copper links are needed and where the SFP form factor is required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 3CSFP93 offers a standardized SFP interface for broad compatibility with networking hardware that accepts SFP modules. Its copper design eliminates the need for fiber components for short-distance connections and allows simple installation into existing SFP ports. With support for up to 1250 Mbit/s, the transceiver is suitable for common Ethernet and legacy serial links that operate within that data-rate range.

Suitable for

• Short-reach copper connections between switches and routers
• Upgrading or replacing SFP copper ports in network equipment
• Server and storage network links that require SFP copper modules
• Environments where a compact, hot-pluggable SFP form factor is preferred

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Medium: Copper
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Form factor: Hot-pluggable SFP module

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 3CSFP93 into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or network interface card while the device is powered on or following the equipment manufacturer's hot-plugging guidance. Connect a compatible copper cable to the transceiver's port. Verify link status and data-rate negotiation on the host device; adjust port configuration if necessary to match the required operational speed and duplex settings. For safe removal, follow the host device's procedure for disabling or ejecting SFP modules if available, then disconnect the cable and extract the module.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 3CSFP93 in equipment that explicitly supports SFP copper transceivers and within the specified data-rate range of 1250 Mbit/s. Avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge during handling and ensure proper cable quality and shielding for reliable copper links. For multi-vendor environments, verify interoperability with the specific switch or router firmware and consult device documentation for any required configuration settings.
