SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1000-BASE-T-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 1000-BASE-T-BO Copper SFP transceiver module provides a compact, hot-swappable interface for connecting copper Ethernet links up to gigabit class speeds. Designed in an SFP form factor with a silver housing, this module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is intended for use in compatible switches, routers and media converters. The model is compliant with CE, FCC and RoHS standards and has an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, making it suitable for installations where standard compliance and long service life are required.

Advantages

The SFP form factor offers space-efficient deployment and hot-swappable replacement without interrupting system operation. Copper connectivity avoids fiber handling and provides direct connection to standard RJ45 network ports through compatible cage and connector assemblies. A rated maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s supports gigabit Ethernet links with overhead for encoding and ensures compatibility with network equipment expecting SFP-based copper modules. The module’s silver housing and compact weight facilitate neat rack and cabinet installations while meeting common safety and environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or extending gigabit copper Ethernet ports on switches and routers
• Media converters and network devices that accept SFP copper modules
• Temporary or permanent links in office and data center environments
• Maintenance replacement for SFP-based copper interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Physical colour: silver
• Typical weight: 0.02 kg
• Mean time between failures (MTBF): 1,000,000 hours
• Standards compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS

How to use

Power down the network device only if the equipment manufacturer requires it; many systems support hot-plugging. Align the module with the SFP cage and firmly insert it until the latch engages. Connect a compatible copper Ethernet cable to the module’s RJ45 connector. Verify link and activity LEDs on the host device to confirm successful negotiation. To remove, press the release latch and pull the module straight out, then protect the module connector with a dust cap if not reused immediately.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling of appropriate category (Cat5e or higher recommended for gigabit links) and maintain proper grounding when using shielded cables. Ensure firmware and compatibility lists for your switch or router indicate support for third-party SFP copper modules to avoid link issues. Store spare modules in anti-static packaging and avoid mechanical stress on the RJ45 connector during installation.
