SFP-transceiver CBO SFP-1000TX koper 1000BASE-T, 100 m

The BlueOptics SFP-1000TX Copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard Cat5e/Cat6 copper cabling up to 100 m. Designed to fit into SFP slots on switches, routers and media converters, this compact, hot-pluggable module enables copper uplinks in equipment that otherwise supports fiber modules. It supports 1000BASE-T operation and is intended for straightforward integration into existing network infrastructure where copper links are required.

Advantages

This Copper SFP module offers a compact form factor and hot-pluggable convenience, allowing fast replacement or addition without powering down equipment. It supports standard Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair cabling, eliminating the need for fiber transceivers or additional media converters when copper Ethernet is available. The module is compatible with common SFP ports and simplifies network design by enabling mixed media environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into an available SFP port on the host device until it clicks into place. Connect a Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable to the module’s RJ-45 connector and to the remote network device. Ensure link negotiation and speed settings on both ends are configured for auto-negotiation or explicitly set to Gigabit where required. Monitor link status indicators on the host device to confirm successful connection. To remove the module, gently disengage the latch and pull the transceiver straight out while the host device is powered according to the manufacturer’s hot-swap guidelines.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for reliable Gigabit performance and keep cable runs within 100 m. Verify compatibility with the host device’s SFP slot and firmware; when deploying in managed environments, check link settings and update device firmware if necessary. Avoid exposing the module to moisture or extreme temperatures and handle it by the housing to prevent electrostatic damage.
