SFP Transceiver Module Copper BlueOptics SFP-2.5G-T-BO 2500 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics SFP-2.5G-T-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for 2.5GBASE-T connections over twisted-pair cabling. It provides a maximum data transfer rate of 2500 Mbit/s through an RJ-45 interface, operates from a 3.3 V input, and is enclosed in a durable metal housing. Weighing approximately 3 g and finished in silver, this compact module follows MSA form-factor conventions for use in compatible SFP ports.

Advantages

The module supports multi-protocol operation at up to 2.5 Gbit/s and fits directly into standard SFP slots with an RJ-45 connector, enabling easy migration from lower-speed copper links without replacing switching hardware. Its metal housing provides mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding. Because it is built to MSA standards and tested for compatibility with common networking platforms, the transceiver is suitable for integrations where reliable copper SFP connectivity is required.

How to use

Install the SFP-2.5G-T-BO into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered down or following the vendor’s hot-swap procedure. Connect a certified Cat5e or Cat6 RJ-45 cable between the transceiver and the copper network endpoint. Verify link status and negotiate the correct speed (2.5G) on the network device interface. If required, enable any vendor-specific settings for third-party SFP modules in the host device’s firmware or management interface.

Recommendations

Use shielded or properly installed Ethernet cabling rated for 2.5G operation and ensure the host device firmware supports third-party SFP modules. For monitoring and diagnostics, enable any supported digital diagnostic features on the host if available. Follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion/removal and ESD protection to maintain module reliability.
