SFP transceiver module BlueOptics BO08C28S1 Copper 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics BO08C28S1 Copper SFP transceiver module provides a compact, hot-pluggable interface for 1000BASE-T Ethernet connections over copper cabling. Designed to meet SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) standards, this module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is specified in a nickel-colour housing. It is lightweight (approximately 20 g) and complies with RoHS, CE and FCC regulatory requirements, making it suitable for commercial and industrial network environments.

Advantages

The module follows MSA-compliant SFP mechanical and electrical specifications, enabling compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers and other networking devices that accept SFP copper modules. It delivers up to 1.25 Gbit/s throughput for Gigabit Ethernet and related protocols, with a compact form factor that simplifies installation and maintenance. Regulatory compliance and a small footprint contribute to predictable integration into existing network racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and downlinks in enterprise and SMB networks
• Patch panel or switch ports requiring an SFP copper RJ45 connection
• Short-range copper connections up to standard cable distances for 1000BASE-T
• Network equipment replacement or upgrades where SFP 1000BASE-T compatibility is required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Connector type: RJ45 (copper)
• Housing colour: nickel
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Standards compliance: RoHS, CE, FCC

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot in a switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-plug guidance. Connect a Category 5e/6/6a twisted-pair copper cable with an RJ45 plug to the module. Verify link status and negotiated speed on the host device and ensure the device firmware/software supports third-party SFP modules if required. For diagnostics, enable Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) on supported hardware to monitor parameters such as supply voltage, optical power and temperature where applicable.

Recommendations

Use high-quality shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling appropriate for Gigabit operation, maintain proper cable management to avoid interference, and verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP implementation. For critical links, test the module in your specific hardware before wide deployment.
