SFP Transceiver BlueOptics SFP-501-BO Fiber optic 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics SFP-501-BO is a compact fiber optic SFP transceiver designed for 1.25 Gbit/s class applications. It provides an RJ-45 interface in a silver metal housing, operates from a 3.3 V supply and weighs approximately 3 g. The module follows SFP form-factor conventions and is intended for use in networking hardware that accepts SFP transceivers for copper/Twisted Pair connectivity up to 1250 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The module combines a small metal SFP package with an RJ-45 interface for straightforward integration into SFP-capable ports. Its 3.3 V operation and lightweight construction allow easy installation and minimal impact on host equipment. The silver metal housing provides mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding appropriate for standard networking environments.

How to use

Insert the SFP-501-BO transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or transceiver cage with the connector aligned to the port. After seating the module fully, connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the module’s RJ-45 interface. Ensure the host device is powered and configured to recognize third-party SFP modules if applicable. Monitor link status on the host device to confirm successful negotiation at rates up to 1250 Mbit/s.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the target hardware and confirm that the host supports the data rate and SFP module type before deployment. Use certified RJ-45 patch cables and keep firmware or device settings up to date to ensure stable operation. Handle the module by its housing and avoid touching electrical contacts; store in anti-static packaging when not in use.
