SFP transceiver module Copper BlueOptics 943 977-001-BO 100GBASE 100m

The BlueOptics 943 977-001-BO Copper SFP transceiver module provides 100GBASE performance over copper cabling for links up to 100 metres. Designed for compact integration, the module weighs 20 g and has a grey housing. It follows standard SFP form-factor expectations and is intended for use in network equipment that accepts MSA-compliant copper SFP modules. The module supports high-speed Ethernet applications and is suitable for deployment in switches, routers and other network devices that require a 100GBASE copper connection.

Advantages

This BlueOptics copper SFP offers interoperability with equipment that supports standard SFP interfaces and 100GBASE signaling. The lightweight and compact design simplifies installation and replacement in dense rack environments. Built to industry specifications, the module provides consistent electrical performance for short-range high-speed links and reduces the need for additional fibre cabling where copper is acceptable.

Suitable for

• Short-range 100GBASE copper links in data centres and server rooms
• Upgrading network ports to 100GBASE without fiber runs
• Redundant or temporary connections for testing and diagnostics
• Integration into switches, routers and network appliances supporting MSA SFP modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (copper)
• Standard: 100GBASE
• Maximum link distance: 100 metres over copper
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Colour: Grey housing

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP module into an SFP slot of a compatible network device, ensuring the device supports 100GBASE over copper SFP modules. Connect a suitable twisted-pair copper cable with appropriate RJ45 termination to the module and the remote port. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and, if necessary, configure port settings to match the network policy. Follow the equipment vendor instructions for hot-plug handling and ESD precautions during installation.

Recommendations

Use certified Category-rated copper cables and limit the link to the specified 100 m distance for reliable 100GBASE performance. Confirm compatibility with the host device firmware and apply ESD protection when handling the module.
