SFP transceiver module BlueOptics MOD-SFP-GE-TX-BO Copper 1000 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics MOD-SFP-GE-TX-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module that provides 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet connectivity via a standard RJ-45 interface. Housed in a compact metal casing with a silver finish and operating at 3.3 V, the module is designed for straightforward integration into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters. Weighing approximately 20 g, it offers a lightweight, space-saving option for adding copper Gigabit links to network equipment.

Advantages

The module supports Gigabit Ethernet over copper with a standard RJ-45 connector, enabling interoperability with existing structured-cabling infrastructure. Its metal housing provides mechanical robustness and EMI shielding while the small SFP form factor preserves slot density in networking equipment. Low weight and a 3.3 V electrical interface simplify installation and power compatibility with common SFP ports.

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible SFP slot on your network device until it engages securely, then connect a standard RJ-45 patch cable to the port. Ensure the host device supports copper SFP transceivers and is configured for a 1 Gbit/s link if necessary. After connection, verify link status and speed through the device management interface or LEDs. To remove, release any retention mechanism on the host and pull the module straight out, handling the module by its body to avoid damaging the connector.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for reliable Gigabit performance and keep firmware or driver support on the host device up to date for proper detection. Avoid excessive mechanical force when inserting or removing the module and ensure adequate ventilation around the host to maintain stable operating conditions.
