Copper Transceiver Module BlueOptics MC3208411-T-BO 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics MC3208411-T-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module engineered for 1.25 Gbit/s class network links. It provides an RJ-45 electrical interface for copper cabling and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The module is intended for insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers or media converters to enable standard Ethernet connectivity over copper UTP/STP cable.

Advantages

This transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor that conserves port space while adding copper Ethernet capability. Its RJ-45 interface simplifies connection to existing copper cabling infrastructures without requiring dedicated copper-only ports. The module's supported data rate of 1250 Mbit/s is suitable for common Gigabit Ethernet and compatible systems, providing reliable electrical link performance and easy hot-swap replacement in modular networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Expanding SFP ports on switches and routers to support copper Ethernet
• Connecting network equipment to UTP/STP Cat5e–Cat6 copper cabling
• Media converters and modular chassis requiring SFP copper transceivers
• Short to medium distance Ethernet links within racks or between nearby rooms

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Interface: RJ-45 copper electrical port
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Supported protocol class: 1.25 Gbit/s Ethernet-compatible
• Cable type: UTP/STP twisted-pair copper (Cat5e/Cat6 recommended)
• Hot-pluggable: yes

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics MC3208411-T-BO module into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it clicks into place. Connect an RJ-45 connector from the copper patch cable to the module's port. Ensure the connected device is powered and that link indicators on the host equipment show an active connection. Configure relevant interface settings on the switch or router (speed, duplex, auto-negotiation) as required for the network environment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 copper cabling and keep link lengths within recommended Ethernet distance limits. Verify compatibility with the host device's SFP firmware or compatibility list before deployment, and handle the module by its housing to avoid electrostatic discharge or connector damage.
