SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1000BASE-T-BO Fiber optic 100 m

The BlueOptics 1000BASE-T-BO is an SFP transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet links over copper (1000BASE-T) with a maximum reach of up to 100 m. The module has an aluminium housing, a compact SFP form factor and a lightweight build of approximately 20 g. It is intended for use in network equipment that accepts SFP modules and supports 1000BASE-T connectivity.

Advantages

The aluminium body provides mechanical durability while keeping weight low, making the module easy to install and handle in switches, routers and other network devices. The SFP interface ensures hot-pluggable compatibility with systems that follow common SFP/ MS A form-factor conventions. The module supports standard 1000BASE-T copper connections and is suitable for applications that require reliable gigabit links over short to medium distances.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers within server rooms or wiring closets up to 100 m
• Upgrading network ports to 1 Gbps using SFP-compatible devices
• Short-range office and campus network links where copper RJ45 1000BASE-T is required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Supported standard: 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair)
• Maximum reach: up to 100 m over copper cabling
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Connector type: RJ45-compatible copper connection (SFP copper transceiver)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 1000BASE-T-BO module into an SFP slot on a compatible network device while the device is powered on or as recommended by the device vendor to allow hot-plugging. Connect a suitable Category 5e/6 twisted-pair copper cable to the RJ45 interface on the transceiver and to the remote network device. After insertion and cable connection, verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and ensure the port is configured for 1 Gbps operation if necessary.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Category 5e or Category 6 cabling for reliable Gigabit performance and ensure both ends of the link and the host hardware support SFP copper transceivers. Confirm compatibility with your network device firmware and vendor guidelines before deployment and perform a link test after installation.
