Copper SFP Transceiver BlueOptics 740-013111-01-BO 1000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 740-013111-01-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet links. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s and a standard SFP form factor, this compact silver module provides a plug-and-play option for converting SFP ports to copper RJ-45 connections. It supports typical horizontal cabling distances up to 100 m and is specified with an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, offering a predictable reliability profile while weighing 20 g for minimal added strain on equipment bays.

Advantages

This copper SFP transceiver offers straightforward installation into SFP-capable switches, routers or media converters to enable copper RJ-45 connectivity without requiring dedicated uplink ports. The module’s Gigabit Ethernet support ensures full 1000 Mbit/s throughput where network infrastructure and cabling permit. Its compact SFP form factor and low weight simplify deployment in dense rack environments and reduce space usage. The stated MTBF gives an objective indicator of expected operational longevity under typical conditions.

Suitable for

• Converting SFP ports to RJ-45 copper connections in switches and routers
• Establishing point-to-point Gigabit links over existing copper cabling up to 100 m
• Replacing or expanding copper uplinks in data cabinets and network closets
• Use in network equipment with SFP slots requiring a silver, low‑weight module

Key specifications

• Interface: 1 × Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) port
• Maximum transfer distance over copper: 100 m
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Reliability: Mean time between failures (MTBF) 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics copper SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter with the device powered down or according to the host equipment hot‑swap guidelines. Connect a standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the transceiver and to the remote network device. Configure link settings on the host device if required; the transceiver supports standard Gigabit Ethernet auto-negotiation. Monitor link LEDs and network management interfaces to verify a stable 1000 Mbit/s connection.

Recommendations

Use quality shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling (Cat5e or higher) and maintain copper link lengths within 100 m for reliable Gigabit performance. Verify SFP slot compatibility with your host device and consult equipment documentation for any vendor-specific settings or firmware requirements before deployment.
