SFP BlueOptics AOM-TSFP-GLCT-BO 100 m aluminium

The BlueOptics AOM-TSFP-GLCT-BO 100m Aluminium is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-T Ethernet over twisted-pair copper. Housed in an aluminium case and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module supports data transmission at 1.25 Gbit/s over distances up to 100 metres when used with appropriate Cat5e/Cat6 cabling and compliant hardware. The module follows MSA form-factor conventions and is intended for integration into network switches, routers, storage systems and other devices that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides mechanical robustness and helps dissipate heat during continuous operation. Compatibility with standard SFP interfaces ensures easy installation and hot-plug capability in supported equipment. The module’s lightweight design and standard RJ45 electrical interface make it suitable for upgrading or replacing existing copper SFP ports without changes to cabling infrastructure. Manufactured to industry MSA guidelines, the transceiver uses proven electrical components for stable long-term operation.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links over copper up to 100 m
• Installation in SFP-compatible switches and routers
• Edge and access networking in office and data-center environments
• Replacement or expansion of existing RJ45 SFP ports

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (MSA form factor)
• Data rate: 1.25 Gbit/s (1000BASE-T)
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 100 metres over twisted-pair copper
• Connector type: RJ45 electrical interface
• Housing material and colour: aluminium
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg

How to use

Insert the SFP module into an available SFP cage on the target device while the device is powered on or off according to the host’s hot-plug guidance. Connect a suitable unshielded or shielded twisted-pair cable (Cat5e or Cat6 recommended) to the module’s RJ45 port and to the remote network endpoint. Verify link status in the host device management interface and ensure both ends negotiate 1000BASE-T operation. If necessary, consult the host equipment documentation for any vendor-specific compatibility settings or port enablement procedures.

Recommendations

Use certified Category 5e or Category 6 copper cabling and quality RJ45 patch cords for reliable 1 Gbit/s links. Confirm that the target device supports SFP copper transceivers and that firmware or port settings do not block third-party modules. For long-term installations, ensure adequate ventilation around the module to maintain stable temperatures and prevent thermal throttling.
