Fiber optic SFP BlueOptics GP-SFP2-1T-DE-BO Maximum transfer distance 100 m

The BlueOptics GP-SFP2-1T-DE-BO is a fiber optic SFP transceiver module engineered for 1 Gbps networking over twisted-pair cabling with a maximum transfer distance of 100 meters. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this SFP module follows MSA form-factor conventions and is designed to fit into compatible SFP slots on switches, routers and other network equipment. It provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface type SFP for reliable copper-based 1000BASE-T connectivity.

Advantages

The module offers a standardized SFP form factor that ensures compatibility with many devices that accept SFP transceivers. Its aluminium casing provides durability while keeping weight low, supporting straightforward installation and removal. Designed for year-round operation, the transceiver supports gigabit Ethernet data rates and is suitable for environments where a short-range, high-speed copper link is required. The module is manufactured to industry electrical and mechanical specifications to provide a predictable operational profile.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers within a rack or between adjacent racks (up to 100 m)
• Upgrading or replacing SFP transceivers in enterprise networking equipment
• Short-range server or storage network links requiring 1000BASE-T

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Supported data rate: 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T)
• Maximum transfer distance: 100 metres over copper twisted-pair cabling
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Connector: RJ45 (for twisted-pair copper)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics GP-SFP2-1T-DE-BO into an available SFP slot on your networking device while the equipment is powered down or following the vendor's hot-plug procedure. Connect the RJ45 cable to the module and to the remote device using appropriate CAT5e/CAT6 or better twisted-pair cabling to reach distances up to 100 metres. Verify link status via the host device's management interface and ensure the device firmware or drivers support third-party SFP modules if required. For monitoring features such as digital diagnostics, confirm the host platform supports DDM/DOM functions.

Recommendations

Use certified shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling of appropriate category (CAT5e or CAT6) for reliable 1000BASE-T performance, avoid sharp bends and electromagnetic interference sources near the cable run, and consult your network hardware vendor documentation to confirm compatibility and any required configuration steps for third-party SFP modules.
