SFP transceiver module Copper BlueOptics 1AB359780003-BO 1000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 1AB359780003-BO is a Copper SFP transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet links. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s and is intended for short-range copper connections up to 100 m. The module has a compact SFP form factor, a silver finish and a lightweight design of approximately 20 g. With a quoted mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, it is suitable for standard network ports that accept SFP copper modules and for upgrading switches or routers to Gigabit copper links.

Advantages

The module provides a straightforward way to add or replace Gigabit copper connectivity in equipment with SFP slots without changing the existing cabling. Its SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable installation and compatibility with a wide range of network devices that support SFP copper transceivers. The silver, lightweight housing simplifies handling and installation while the specified MTBF indicates long operational reliability under normal conditions.

Suitable for

• Replacing or adding Gigabit Ethernet copper ports in switches and routers
• Short-range uplinks and connections within server rooms or data closets (up to 100 m)
• Network maintenance, spare parts inventory, and field service deployments

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Maximum transfer distance over copper: 100 m
• Product colour: Silver
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Rated reliability: MTBF 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Power down or follow your device's hot-swap procedures before inserting the SFP module if hot-plug is not supported. Align the module with the SFP slot and insert it until it locks into place. Connect a suitable Cat5e/Cat6 copper cable between the module and the network endpoint. Configure the host device for Gigabit Ethernet operation as required; most systems will auto-negotiate link speed when the module and cable are compatible. To remove, release the module latch and pull the transceiver straight out, protecting the module from dust and physical damage when not in use.

Recommendations

Use quality twisted-pair copper cabling (Cat5e or better) for reliable Gigabit links and keep copper runs within the specified 100 m distance. Verify device compatibility with SFP copper transceivers and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation. Store unused modules in protective anti-static packaging and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture.
