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

The BlueOptics SFP-CU-RJ45-BO is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-T Ethernet over twisted pair with an RJ45 connector. Housed in an aluminum body and weighing approximately 20 grams, the module supports data transmission up to 100 meters and follows MSA-compliant SFP form-factor specifications. It is intended for integration in network hardware that accepts SFP copper/RJ45 modules and provides Gigabit connectivity for switches, routers and storage devices.

Advantages

This SFP transceiver provides Gigabit Ethernet performance in a small, hot-pluggable SFP form factor with an RJ45 interface, offering the convenience of copper connectivity where fiber is not required. The aluminum enclosure supports mechanical durability and thermal dissipation while the lightweight design simplifies handling and installation. The module is manufactured to meet MSA standards and is tested for compatibility with common network platforms, ensuring predictable interoperability and stable link operation up to the specified range.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on the network device while the device is powered according to the vendor’s guidelines for hot-pluggable modules. Connect a suitable Cat5e/Cat6 twisted-pair cable to the RJ45 port and confirm link/activity LEDs on the host equipment. Verify that the connected device supports third-party SFP RJ45 modules and enable any required interface settings in the device configuration. If the host platform supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable monitoring to view real-time parameters where supported.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable for reliable Gigabit links and keep cable runs within the 100 m specification. Ensure the host device firmware or configuration allows SFP RJ45 modules and, when available, use the DDM/DOM monitoring feature for remote diagnostics and link maintenance.
