SFP transceiver module BlueOptics E1MGTX-A-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics E1MGTX-A-BO is a Copper SFP transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. It uses an RJ45 copper interface and supports transmission over twisted-pair copper cabling up to 100 m. The module is compatible with Brocade hardware platforms that accept the original E1MGTX-A form factor and operates from a 3.3 V supply. The transceiver has a compact silver metal housing and a light weight of approximately 20 g, making it suitable for use in switches, routers and other network devices that require hot-pluggable SFP transceivers.

Advantages

The BlueOptics E1MGTX-A-BO provides a standardized SFP form factor for easy integration into equipment that supports MSA-compliant 10/100/1000BASE-T SFP modules. It offers broad protocol support including Ethernet and can be used in mixed environments where Brocade compatibility is required. The module is tested for interoperability with Brocade platforms and is manufactured to MSA mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure stable operation and predictable performance in copper-based links.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics E1MGTX-A-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on the target device while the device is powered per the vendor's hot-swap guidelines. Connect a standard RJ45 ethernet cable to the module and to the remote network device or patch panel. Confirm that the device firmware or operating system recognizes the transceiver and negotiates the desired speed and duplex settings. For best results, use high-quality twisted-pair cabling (Cat5e or better) and ensure connectors and ports are clean and undamaged.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility and any vendor firmware restrictions before deployment. To maintain link reliability, keep copper cable runs within the specified 100 m limit and avoid running data cables near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If monitoring is required, use network management tools and the host device diagnostics to check link status and performance.
