Fiber optic transceiver module BlueOptics FCOPPER-SFP-100-BO 100m Aluminium

The BlueOptics FCOPPER-SFP-100-BO is an SFP copper transceiver module designed for short-range Ethernet links up to 100 meters. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this module provides an SFP interface for integration into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and other network equipment. The module supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet transmission over twisted-pair copper cabling and follows industry MSA form-factor standards for direct insertion into SFP slots.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers mechanical robustness and thermal stability while the compact SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable installation in SFP-capable devices. Support for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation over standard twisted-pair copper allows the module to be used in existing copper infrastructures without fiber conversion. Its lightweight construction and standard SFP interface simplify deployment and replacement in a wide range of networking hardware.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics FCOPPER-SFP-100-BO into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or other network device while the host port is powered according to the device manufacturer’s guidelines. Connect a standard Ethernet twisted-pair cable (Cat5e or better recommended for Gigabit) to the module’s RJ45 interface and to the remote device or patch panel. The device should automatically detect the module and negotiate the appropriate link speed and duplex settings; verify the link status and speed on the host device to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Use Cat5e or higher category cabling for reliable Gigabit links and ensure the host device explicitly supports copper SFP transceivers. Avoid excessive bending or strain on the cable and maintain adequate airflow around the module to prevent thermal buildup in densely populated equipment racks.
