Fiber optic SFP transceiver module BlueOptics ONS-SE-ZE-EL-BO 100m

The BlueOptics ONS-SE-ZE-EL-BO is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-T Ethernet over twisted pair copper cables. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing 20 grams, this single-unit module supports data transmission at up to 1.25 Gbit/s over distances up to 100 metres when used with appropriate cabling and network equipment. The module follows MSA form-factor standards and provides a standard RJ45 electrical interface for insertion into compatible SFP ports.

Advantages

The module offers a standard-compliant SFP form factor with an RJ45 interface, enabling straightforward integration into networking hardware that accepts 1000BASE-T SFP modules. Its aluminium housing provides a durable enclosure while keeping weight low, and the compact single-pack format simplifies stock management and replacement. Tested for compatibility with equipment that supports the same form factor and electrical specification, the transceiver is suitable for reliable short-range copper Ethernet links up to 100 metres.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the hardware vendor’s hot-plug guidance. Connect a suitable Cat5e/Cat6 twisted pair cable to the RJ45 port on the transceiver and to the corresponding network endpoint. Configure the network device ports and link settings according to your equipment documentation to enable 1000BASE-T operation. Verify link status and speed through the host device’s management interface after installation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling rated for gigabit Ethernet (Cat5e or better) and ensure patch panels and patch cords are in good condition. Confirm that the host device firmware or software supports third-party SFP modules and follow vendor guidelines for hot-plugging to avoid link disruptions.
