Copper transceiver module BlueOptics VIP-SFP-1GE-BASET-BO 1000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics VIP-SFP-1GE-BASET-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for reliable 1 Gbit/s network connectivity. It supports 1000 Mbit/s data transfer over standard Ethernet cabling and is intended for use in switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules. The module comes in a silver housing and meets RoHS requirements, offering a compact and interoperable option for upgrading or repairing network ports.

Advantages

The module provides plug-and-play compatibility with SFP slots and supports gigabit Ethernet speeds for consistent throughput. Its compact SFP form factor conserves space in networking equipment while allowing flexible port configuration. RoHS compliance ensures reduced hazardous substances in the manufacturing process and the copper interface permits use with existing copper cabling infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or replacing 1 Gbit/s copper ports in switches and routers
• Connecting servers and workstations to gigabit Ethernet networks
• Use in network labs and testing environments for copper SFP compatibility
• Deployments where space-saving SFP modules are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s)
• Media: copper (10/100/1000BASE-T compatible)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Product colour: silver
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant

How to use

Ensure the host device supports copper SFP transceivers and is powered down or configured according to the manufacturer's hot-swap guidance. Insert the module into an available SFP slot until it seats firmly and lock any retention mechanism present. Connect a suitable Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the module and verify link/activity LEDs on the host device or network management interface. If required, configure interface settings such as speed and duplex in the device management console.

Recommendations

Use Cat5e or higher quality twisted-pair copper cabling for reliable 1 Gbit/s performance, and follow the host device vendor's compatibility list if available. Avoid exposing the module to excessive dust or moisture and handle the module by its housing to prevent electrostatic damage.
