SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics 4XF7A14917-BO glasvezel 100 m

The BlueOptics 4XF7A14917-BO SFP transceiver module is a compact fiber optic module designed for 1 Gbps network links with a maximum transfer distance of 100 m. Constructed from aluminium and weighing approximately 20 g, this SFP module follows MSA form-factor standards and provides a reliable interface for standard network hardware that supports 1000BASE-T SFP modules. It supports Ethernet and related high-speed protocols over copper-terminated fiber links and is intended for use where stable, low-latency connectivity is required.

Advantages

The module offers a small, hot-pluggable form factor compatible with SFP ports and is built to industry MSA standards for broad interoperability. Its aluminium housing delivers mechanical robustness and thermal dissipation while maintaining a lightweight profile. The transceiver supports gigabit data rates up to 1.25 Gbps and a link length of up to 100 metres, providing a balance of performance and compactness for cabling runs inside data centres and enterprise networks.

Suitable for

• 1000BASE-T gigabit connections between switches and routers within racks or adjacent rooms
• Upgrading or replacing SFP ports in compatible network equipment that accept standard 1 G SFP modules
• Short-range optical/copper hybrid links in enterprise LANs and small data centres

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Data rate: up to 1.25 Gbps (supports 1000BASE-T applications)
• Maximum transfer distance: 100 metres
• Housing material: aluminium
• Weight: approximately 0.02 kg
• Connector type: RJ45-compatible electrical interface for 1000BASE-T operation

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 4XF7A14917-BO by inserting the SFP module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or other network device while the device is powered according to the vendor's hot-plug guidelines. Connect the appropriate twisted-pair cabling or fiber patch cord (as required by your network design) to the module's connector and verify link status through the host device's management interface or LEDs. Ensure the host device firmware or software supports third-party SFP modules and, if applicable, enable any diagnostics features in the device to monitor the transceiver.

Recommendations

For stable operation, use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cabling for 1000BASE-T runs up to 100 m and ensure that the networking equipment supports SFP transceivers. If digital diagnostics are required, confirm that the host hardware exposes DDM/DOM functions for monitoring supply voltage, optical power and temperature. Follow ESD precautions during handling and install modules in well-ventilated racks to maintain operating temperature within vendor-specified ranges.
