SFP transceiver module BlueOptics ISFP-GIG-T-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics ISFP-GIG-T-BO is a Copper SFP transceiver module with an RJ-45 interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Designed for insertion into SFP ports of switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept SFP copper modules, this transceiver provides a compact way to add Gigabit-class copper connectivity using standard twisted-pair cabling.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP form factor with an RJ-45 connector for easy integration into systems that support hot-pluggable SFP modules. With a maximum data rate of 1250 Mbit/s it supports high-speed network links over copper cabling while preserving port density on network devices. Its straightforward design focuses on reliable electrical signal transmission for short- to medium-distance links where copper cabling is used.

Suitable for

• Adding copper Ethernet ports to SFP-enabled switches and routers
• Short-range links in data centers, server rooms or wiring closets
• Network upgrades where RJ-45 1G connections are required
• Redundant or temporary links using standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ-45 copper connector
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Medium: Twisted-pair copper cabling (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6)
• Hot-pluggable: Yes (SFP slot compatibility)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics ISFP-GIG-T-BO transceiver into a compatible SFP port on the network device until it latches. Connect an appropriate RJ-45 twisted-pair cable between the module and the counterpart device. Ensure the host device supports copper SFP transceivers and that port settings (speed/duplex, auto-negotiation) match the network configuration. Monitor link LEDs and device management interfaces to confirm the connection is active.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded Cat5e/Cat6 cables of appropriate quality for the intended distance, verify compatibility with the host device firmware, and avoid exceeding copper distance limitations for reliable operation.
