SFP transceiver module BlueOptics M-SFP-TX/RJ45 EEC-BO Fiber optic 100 m

The BlueOptics M-SFP-TX/RJ45 EEC-BO is an SFP transceiver module for Gigabit Ethernet applications. It implements a 1000BASE-T interface over an RJ45 connector and is designed for transmission distances up to 100 metres over twisted-pair copper cabling. The module is housed in an aluminium casing and weighs approximately 20 grams, allowing easy hot-plug installation in compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and other network devices that follow MSA specifications.

Advantages

The module supports 1.25 Gbps signalling for Gigabit Ethernet and follows MSA form-factor standards for wide hardware compatibility. Its aluminium housing provides mechanical protection and thermal dissipation while the lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation. BlueOptics units are tested for compatibility with major vendor platforms and use selected components to ensure consistent electrical behaviour and long operational lifetime.

How to use

Insert the transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your network device while the device is powered on or according to the device vendor's hot-swap guidance. Connect an appropriate RJ45 patch cable from the module to the remote device or patch panel. Ensure the connected cabling meets the required category (Cat5e or better) for reliable Gigabit operation and verify link status via the host device's LEDs or management interface. Configure the network device port settings if necessary (auto-negotiation, duplex, speed, VLANs) to match your network design.

Recommendations

Use shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling that meets Cat5e or Cat6 standards and keep cable runs within the 100 m limit for full Gigabit performance. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and, if available, test a sample module in your hardware before large deployments to confirm interoperability and link stability.
