SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 10070H-BO Copper 1000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 10070H-BO Copper SFP transceiver module provides a compact copper interface for 10/100/1000 Mbit/s networks. Designed to fit SFP slots, this module enables Gigabit Ethernet connections over twisted-pair cabling with a slim metal housing in silver and a lightweight construction of approximately 20 g. The module follows MSA-compatible form factor conventions and is intended for use where a copper SFP port is required to connect standard RJ45 copper cabling to switches, routers or other compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 10070H-BO offers a small-footprint solution for adding 1000 Mbit/s copper connectivity to devices with an SFP slot, conserving space and allowing flexible deployment. Its copper interface supports standard network cabling and avoids the need for separate media converters. The module's compact silver metal housing and low weight make installation and handling straightforward in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Adding 1 Gbit/s RJ45 copper ports to SFP-enabled switches and routers
• Short-range Ethernet connections over Cat5e/Cat6 twisted-pair cabling up to typical copper limits
• Data center patching and network edge devices requiring copper uplinks

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP copper (RJ45 compatible)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Product colour: Silver metal housing
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics 10070H-BO into an empty SFP slot of a compatible switch, router or network device while the device is powered down or following the manufacturer's hot-plugging guidelines. Connect a suitable Cat5e/Cat6 RJ45 patch cable to the module's copper port and configure the network device as required for Gigabit Ethernet operation. Verify link and activity LEDs on the host device or consult its management interface to confirm a successful connection.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables appropriate for the required distance and environment; follow the host device vendor's compatibility list and firmware recommendations to ensure full functionality. For reliable performance, keep cable runs within standard copper Ethernet distance limits and avoid sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
