SFP transceiver module BlueOptics RJ45-CATX-SFP-BO Fiber optic 100m

The BlueOptics RJ45-CATX-SFP-BO is an SFP transceiver module with an RJ45 copper interface designed for Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair cable. It supports data transmission up to 1.25 Gbit/s and a maximum link distance of 100 meters. Weighing approximately 20 grams, the module is built to MSA compatibility and intended for use in network equipment that accepts standard SFP copper transceivers. The product is covered by a five-year warranty.

Advantages

The module provides reliable 1000BASE-T connectivity through a standard RJ45 connector and complies with SFP multi-source agreement (MSA) form factor requirements, enabling straightforward integration into compatible switches, routers and other network devices. It supports full Gigabit speed over existing Cat5e/Cat6 copper cabling and is lightweight for simple handling and installation. Components are selected to meet typical telecom and datacomm electrical specifications, aiming to deliver consistent performance and long service life under normal operating conditions.

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP port on a compatible switch, router or other network device while the device is powered according to the host vendor's instructions. Connect a standard RJ45 patch cable to the transceiver's RJ45 port and the remote device or patch panel. Ensure the connected cable and port settings (auto-negotiation, duplex and speed) match the network design. After physical installation, verify link status and data rate via the host device management interface and perform any required firmware or configuration updates to enable the port.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat5e or Cat6 cables for best performance, keep cable runs under the specified 100 m limit, and avoid excessive bending or exposure to strong electromagnetic interference. Verify host-device compatibility with third-party SFP modules and test new modules in a controlled environment before large-scale deployment.
