Fiber optic SFP transceiver BlueOptics E1MG-TX-A-BO 100 m Aluminium

The BlueOptics E1MG-TX-A-BO 100 m Aluminium is a compact SFP transceiver designed for Ethernet networking over twisted-pair copper cabling. Built to the SFP form factor with an RJ45 electrical interface, this module supports gigabit-class data transmission up to 100 m and is housed in an aluminium casing with a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. The module is intended for use in SFP-capable switches, routers and other network devices that accept standard SFP copper modules.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides robust mechanical protection and contributes to thermal dissipation while keeping the module weight low. Compliance with common SFP mechanical and electrical standards ensures straightforward interoperability with SFP slots that support 1000BASE-T copper transceivers. The RJ45 interface allows direct connection to standard twisted-pair Ethernet cabling without additional media converters.

Suitable for

• Connecting gigabit Ethernet devices over Cat5e/Cat6 twisted-pair cabling up to 100 m
• Use in SFP-capable switches, routers and network appliances that accept copper SFP modules
• Upgrading or replacing copper SFP ports in data center or enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (copper, RJ45)
• Maximum supported link distance: 100 m over twisted-pair cable
• Data rate class: gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T, 1.25 G electrical signalling)
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an SFP slot of a compatible network device until it clicks into place, then connect a standard RJ45 twisted-pair Ethernet cable between the module and the remote port. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-T SFP copper modules and configure the port settings on the switch or router as required by your network policy. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and appropriate RJ45 patch cords, keep cable runs within the 100 m maximum, and verify compatibility with your hardware vendor's supported transceiver list before deployment.
