SFP transceiver module Copper RJ-45 BlueOptics GCOPPER-SFP-100-BO 100m

The BlueOptics GCOPPER-SFP-100-BO is a compact copper SFP transceiver module with an RJ-45 interface, designed for short-range network links up to 100 meters. Its SFP form factor and 20 g weight make it suitable for hot-pluggable installation in compatible network devices. The module supports 10/100/1000BASE-T operation and follows common MSA form-factor standards, providing a standardized RJ-45 copper UTP connection for switches, routers and similar equipment that accept SFP copper modules.

Advantages

The module combines a standardized SFP footprint with an RJ-45 copper interface to provide a space-saving alternative to fixed RJ-45 ports on networking gear. Its compatibility with common hardware platforms allows straightforward replacement or expansion of copper ports without major configuration changes. The small size and low weight facilitate easy handling and installation, while support for 10/100/1000BASE-T enables auto-negotiation across common Ethernet speeds.

How to use

Insert the GCOPPER-SFP-100-BO into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered according to the vendor's hot-plug guidance. Connect a standard RJ-45 UTP cable to the module and the remote network endpoint. The transceiver will negotiate the link speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) with the connected device. Verify link and status indicators on the host device and, if applicable, check management interfaces for port status and operational parameters.

Recommendations

Use quality Category 5e or better UTP cabling for links up to 100 m and ensure the host device firmware and SFP slot support copper SFP modules and the required diagnostics functions. For remote monitoring, confirm that the network equipment supports any digital diagnostic features exposed by the transceiver.
