SFP transceiver module BlueOptics EB48-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics EB48-BO Copper SFP transceiver module is a compact network interface designed for 1250 Mbit/s copper connections with an RJ-45 connector. Built in an industry-standard SFP form factor, this module enables 1000BASE-T class data transmission in devices with SFP slots. It is lightweight at approximately 20 g and offers a high MTBF of around 3,000,000 hours, providing a reliable physical layer option for network equipment that requires a copper RJ-45 SFP solution.

Advantages

The EB48-BO provides a standardized SFP solution with RJ-45 connectivity that is compatible with common hardware platforms supporting 1000BASE-T via SFP. Its compact SFP form factor simplifies installation and hot-swap replacement in switches, routers and storage systems. With a rated maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a long MTBF, the module supports sustained gigabit copper links while maintaining low weight and a silver finish that integrates with server and network equipment racks.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics EB48-BO module into an empty SFP slot on a compatible network device while the device is powered according to the device manufacturer's instructions or support hot-swap if supported. Connect a standard Cat5e/Cat6 copper Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the module and to the corresponding network endpoint. Configure the device's network interface settings as required for speed, duplex and link negotiation; the module supports gigabit operation in 1000BASE-T capable ports. Monitor link status LEDs on the host device to confirm successful link establishment.

Recommendations

Use the EB48-BO in environments that require short to medium copper links and ensure the host device supports RJ-45 SFP transceivers. For best performance, use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) and follow ESD precautions when handling the module. Verify firmware or compatibility lists of your network hardware if the vendor publishes supported SFP modules.
