SFP-transceivermodule koper BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-T-BO 1280 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP-1000BASE-T-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-T networks. It provides a copper RJ45 interface in an SFP form factor, supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1280 Mbit/s and weighs approximately 20 g. The module follows common SFP mechanical and electrical standards to enable hot-pluggable installation in compatible switches, routers and network devices that accept SFP copper transceivers.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP footprint with a copper RJ45 interface, allowing network equipment to accept copper connections without occupying larger ports. Its lightweight design and standardized form factor simplify installation and replacement in SFP-capable devices. With a supported data transfer rate up to 1280 Mbit/s, the transceiver covers Gigabit-class Ethernet applications while remaining compatible with established SFP interfaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers and switches over copper Ethernet within wiring closets and data centers
• Upgrading SFP-capable network devices to support RJ45 copper links
• Short-range copper links up to typical 100 m Category cabling scenarios
• Mixed fiber/copper deployments where SFP form-factor uniformity is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Connection: copper RJ45 interface
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1280 Mbit/s
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Supported protocols: Ethernet (Gigabit-class / 1000BASE-T compatible)

How to use

Ensure the target device supports SFP copper transceivers and that any firmware or vendor compatibility requirements are met. Insert the SFP module into an empty SFP slot until it latches, then connect a suitable Category-rated RJ45 Ethernet cable to the module. The device should detect the module and negotiate link speed according to connected equipment and cabling. For removal, power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the device vendor and depress the module latch to extract the transceiver.

Recommendations

Use Category 5e or better cabling for reliable Gigabit operation and keep cable runs within standard copper Ethernet distance limits. Verify device compatibility and, if available, enable any diagnostics or link monitoring features provided by the host to assist with installation and troubleshooting.
