SFP Copper Transceiver BlueOptics 61494-BO, 1× RJ45, 1250 Mbit/s, 100 m, compatible with Lancom

BlueOptics 61494-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module with a single RJ45 port designed for insertion into SFP slots. It supports data rates up to 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gigabit Ethernet) and a maximum copper cable distance of 100 m. The module has a compact silver form factor and is compatible with Lancom devices; it meets CE, FCC and RoHS standards and is intended for linking switches, routers or media converters in local network setups.

Advantages

The transceiver offers hot-swap/hot-plug support for easy replacement or installation without powering down network equipment. Its copper RJ45 interface provides straightforward connection to standard Ethernet cabling and devices, while the compact SFP form factor saves space in network equipment. Compliance with common regulatory standards ensures predictable interoperability and safety.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This module is limited to copper Ethernet connections and a maximum reach of 100 m, so it is not suitable where fiber links or longer-distance connections are required. It is designed for SFP slots and may not be compatible with devices that require other transceiver formats or proprietary vendor-locked modules.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 61494-BO into an available SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place. Connect a standard Cat5e/Cat6 (or higher) Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port and to the remote device. The module supports hot-plugging, but follow your equipment manufacturer’s guidance for link activation and any necessary configuration in the device’s management interface.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable of appropriate category (Cat5e or Cat6 recommended) and verify link speed/duplex settings on connected devices. Keep spare modules for quick swap during maintenance and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the SFP transceiver.
