SFP transceiver module BlueOptics SFP-GA-R-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics SFP-GA-R-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45 is a compact copper SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-T network links. It provides a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s over twisted-pair cabling via an RJ-45 interface, operates at a 3.3 V input voltage and is housed in a metal casing with a lightweight 3 g form factor. The module follows MSA-compatible SFP form-factor conventions and is intended for integration into switches, routers and other networking equipment that accept SFP copper modules.

Advantages

The module's metal enclosure offers mechanical robustness and electromagnetic shielding while keeping weight to a minimum. Its RJ-45 interface enables direct connection to existing copper Ethernet infrastructure up to typical 100-meter distances for 1000BASE-T applications. Compliance with common SFP mechanical and electrical conventions ensures straightforward hot-plug installation and compatibility with equipment that supports SFP copper transceivers.

How to use

Power down the target device only if recommended by the hardware vendor, then insert the SFP transceiver into an SFP slot until it latches; many systems also allow hot-plug insertion. Connect a standard RJ-45 twisted-pair Ethernet cable to the module's RJ-45 port and to the remote device. Configure link settings on the connected devices as required for 1000BASE-T operation and verify link status and negotiated speed in your device management interface. Follow your equipment manufacturer's guidance for firmware settings or compatibility quirks.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality Category 5e or higher cabling for Gigabit Ethernet links and verify compatibility lists for your switch or router. Avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress on the SFP module and ensure firm seating in the SFP cage. If encountering link issues, check cable integrity, connector terminations and the host device's SFP port support for copper SFP modules.
