SFP transceiver BlueOptics GTX100 Copper 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics GTX100 Copper SFP transceiver is a compact module designed for copper-based network links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. This Silver-coloured SFP module weighs approximately 20 g and is intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters to provide reliable short-reach connectivity over copper cabling. The module follows standard SFP form-factor dimensions and delivers a straightforward electrical interface for single-channel data transmission.

Advantages

The BlueOptics GTX100 offers a small footprint and hot-pluggable convenience, enabling easy deployment and replacement without powering down equipment. Its copper interface simplifies installation on existing UTP or direct-attach copper cabling and supports stable data throughput up to 1250 Mbit/s. The lightweight, metal-bodied housing in silver provides durability and EMI shielding while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept standard SFP modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach copper connections between switches and routers
• Server uplinks using SFP copper modules
• Media converters and network appliances with SFP slots
• Temporary or permanent links in data centers and wiring closets

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Connector medium: copper cabling (RJ-45 or compatible DAC depending on host interface)
• Product colour: Silver metal housing
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg

How to use

Ensure the host device supports copper SFP transceivers and that the device is powered according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Insert the BlueOptics GTX100 module into an available SFP slot until it latches securely. Connect the appropriate copper cable to the module’s host-side connector. Verify link LEDs and system status to confirm successful negotiation at the supported data rate. To remove the module, power down the link if recommended by the equipment vendor, release the latch and withdraw the transceiver carefully.

Recommendations

Use Cat5e/Cat6 cabling or compatible direct-attach copper solutions appropriate for short-distance links. Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor for hot-plug support and firmware interoperability. Maintain the module in a dust-free environment and handle by the housing to avoid ESD-sensitive component contact.
