Copper SFP Transceiver BlueOptics 57-1000042-01-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 57-1000042-01-BO Copper SFP transceiver is a compact module designed for insertion into SFP-compatible network equipment to provide a 1250 Mbit/s copper interface. Housed in a silver SFP form factor, this transceiver supports standard small form-factor pluggable slots and is intended for short-reach copper connections. Built to meet CE, FCC and RoHS requirements, the module is specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours for predictable service life.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standardized SFP interface for hot-pluggable installation and interoperability with a wide range of switches and routers. Its compact SFP+ form factor and low weight make it easy to handle and install in dense equipment racks. Compliance with CE, FCC and RoHS ensures regulatory conformity, while the 1250 Mbit/s maximum data transfer rate covers common legacy and industrial network requirements. The stated MTBF value provides an indicator of reliability for planning and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or replacing copper SFP ports in switches and routers
• Short-reach Ethernet links where 1250 Mbit/s throughput is sufficient
• Industrial and office network equipment requiring standard SFP modules
• Environments where regulatory compliance (CE/FCC/RoHS) is required

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP copper transceivers and is powered off or supports hot-plug insertion per the manufacturer's guidance. Orient the BlueOptics SFP module so the connector aligns with the host socket and insert it until it clicks into place. Connect the copper cable to the module's RJ-45 port and configure the network interface in the host device for the appropriate speed and duplex if required. Monitor link status LEDs on the host equipment to verify the connection. For safe removal, follow the host device procedure to power down or disengage the module before extraction.

Recommendations

Use the transceiver in environments within the host device's specified temperature and humidity ranges, avoid exposure to strong electromagnetic interference, and handle the module by its body to prevent damage to contacts. Keep the protective dust cap in place when the module is not connected to prevent contamination. Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor documentation before deployment to ensure full interoperability.
