SFP transceiver module BlueOptics FN-TRAN-GC Copper 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics FN-TRAN-GC Copper SFP transceiver module is a compact network interface designed for use in SFP-compatible switches, routers and media converters. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and a standardized SFP form factor, this copper transceiver provides a simple, hot-pluggable option for short-range Ethernet and serial communication links. The module's silver housing and lightweight construction (approximately 20 g) make it suitable for dense installations where space and weight are considerations.

Advantages

The module supports the SFP interface standard, enabling interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. Its rated transfer speed of up to 1250 Mbit/s covers common Gigabit-compatible and serial applications while keeping power consumption and heat generation low. The compact copper design allows direct connection to copper-based networks without the need for additional media conversion, simplifying deployment and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short-range Ethernet links in switches, routers and patch panels
• Upgrading or expanding SFP ports in network equipment
• Industrial and office networks where a compact copper transceiver is required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Medium: Copper
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports SFP copper transceivers and is powered off or designed for hot-plug insertion. Align the BlueOptics FN-TRAN-GC module with the SFP cage on the equipment and insert it gently until it clicks or seats firmly. Connect the appropriate copper Ethernet cable to the module's port, configure the device port settings as required (speed, duplex, negotiation) and verify link status through the host device's management interface. For hot-swap capable equipment, insertion and removal can be performed while the system is powered, following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Recommendations

Install the transceiver in a clean environment to avoid contamination of the connector. Use compatible SFP ports and certified copper cables to ensure reliable operation at the specified 1250 Mbit/s rate. Monitor link status after installation and follow equipment vendor guidance for firmware or driver compatibility where applicable.
