Glasvezel-transceivermodule BlueOptics DGS-712-BO 100m aluminium

The BlueOptics DGS-712-BO 100m Aluminium is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed data transfer over distances up to 100 metres. Housed in an aluminium casing and weighing approximately 20 grams, this module provides a compact, durable solution for network equipment that accepts SFP transceivers. The module follows MSA-compatible form factor conventions and supports 1000BASE-T operation over twisted pair copper cabling, enabling Gigabit-class connectivity in compatible switches, routers and other network appliances.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers a lightweight and robust enclosure that helps dissipate heat while keeping the module compact. Compatibility with common SFP ports and adherence to MSA standards increase interchangeability with many network devices. The module supports data rates up to 1.25 Gbps on copper twisted-pair cabling to distances of up to 100 metres, providing a practical option for short-range Ethernet links. At roughly 20 grams, the transceiver is easy to handle and install in standard SFP slots.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the transceiver into an available SFP slot on your compatible network device until it locks into place. Connect the RJ45 twisted-pair copper cable to the module’s RJ45 interface and to the remote device or patch panel. Ensure the connected device supports 1000BASE-T SFP modules and verify link status through your switch or router management interface. If required, check and adapt device firmware settings or vendor compatibility lists for full interoperability.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cabling for optimal performance and reach. Confirm that the host device officially supports MSA-compatible 1000BASE-T SFP modules to avoid compatibility issues. For critical deployments, test a sample module in your hardware before large-scale replacement.
