Copper Transceiver Module BlueOptics X6568-R6 1250 Mbit/s SFP

The BlueOptics X6568-R6 Copper Transceiver Module is a small-form pluggable (SFP) device designed for copper-based network connections. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s, this module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for integrating copper links into switches, routers and media converters. The module is finished in silver and has a lightweight metal housing, making it suitable for high-density installations where space and thermal considerations are important.

Advantages

The module’s SFP interface ensures broad compatibility with networking equipment that accepts SFP copper transceivers. With a specified maximum throughput of 1250 Mbit/s and a compact form factor, it balances performance and space efficiency. The low weight of approximately 20 g and rugged silver housing contribute to easy handling and reliable physical installation in rack-mounted or modular network devices.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or expanding Ethernet ports on switches and routers that support SFP copper modules
• Connecting short-range copper links in data centers and server rooms
• Replacing failed or obsolete copper SFP transceivers in modular network equipment

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your network equipment vendor before inserting or removing the module. Align the module with the SFP slot and slide it in until it latches securely. Verify link and activity LEDs on your host device to confirm successful negotiation at the required speed. Use the device management interface of your switch or router to check interface status and configure any necessary link settings.

Recommendations

Install the transceiver in compatible SFP ports only and avoid excessive force when inserting or removing the module. Keep the module’s contacts and host slot free of dust and moisture. For reliable operation at the specified 1250 Mbit/s, use appropriate copper cabling and ensure cable length and quality meet your network design requirements.
