Copper Transceiver Module BlueOptics SFP-GTX-RJ45-AE 1250 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics SFP-GTX-RJ45-AE is a copper transceiver module with an SFP interface that supports data transfer speeds up to 1250 Mbit/s. Designed for integration into switches, routers and other network equipment with SFP slots, this compact module provides a standard RJ45 copper connection for Ethernet links and supports typical network topologies where single-port SFP copper connectivity is required.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver offers straightforward installation into standard SFP ports and delivers stable copper Ethernet connectivity without the need for fiber optics. Its compact SFP form factor helps conserve space in rack-mounted equipment while enabling flexible network design. The module's support for up to 1250 Mbit/s ensures compatibility with many Fast Ethernet and Gigabit-adjacent applications that accept this data rate.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers via copper RJ45 ports in SFP slots
• Replacing or adding copper SFP links in enterprise and small business networks
• Integrating mixed copper/fiber infrastructures where copper SFP ports are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Connector: RJ45 (copper)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Form factor: Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Media type: Twisted-pair copper cabling

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-GTX-RJ45-AE into an empty SFP slot on the target network device while the device is powered on or follow the device manufacturer's hot-swap guidance. Connect a suitable twisted-pair Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the module and to the corresponding network endpoint. Verify link status and speed via the host device management interface and confirm that the device supports the module's data rate and copper SFP compatibility.

Recommendations

Use standard Cat5e or better cabling for reliable performance and keep cable runs within recommended distance limits for copper Ethernet. Ensure firmware and device compatibility with copper SFP modules and consult network equipment documentation when mixing module types. Handle the transceiver by its housing to avoid electrostatic damage and store unused modules in anti-static packaging.
