SFP-transceivermodule BlueOptics LM-SFP-RJ45-BO 1000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics LM-SFP-RJ45-BO 1000 Mbit/s is an SFP transceiver module with an integrated RJ45 electrical interface designed for Ethernet connections over twisted-pair copper cabling. The module supports a data transfer rate up to 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s) and is housed in an aluminium enclosure that provides lightweight durability. Its SFP form factor makes it suitable for hot-swappable use in compatible network devices that accept SFP modules.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP interface with RJ45 connectivity, enabling 1000BASE-T Ethernet links without requiring a dedicated copper port on the host device. Aluminum construction provides mechanical protection while keeping the module lightweight. The product is built to industry MSA form-factor standards to ensure interoperability with devices that support SFP-based copper transceivers. Tested electrical performance supports Gigabit Ethernet over standard twisted-pair cables up to typical 100 m distances, enabling straightforward integration into existing network cabling.

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics LM-SFP-RJ45-BO into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or network device while the device is powered according to the host manufacturer’s guidance for hot-swap modules. Connect a suitable RJ45 patch cable from the module's RJ45 jack to the copper network endpoint. Ensure the host device supports 1000BASE-T over SFP and verify link status through the device management interface. If required, follow any firmware or configuration steps specified by the network equipment vendor to enable the module.

Recommendations

Use certified Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cables for optimal Gigabit performance and keep cable runs within recommended distances (typically up to 100 m). Verify device compatibility with SFP copper modules in the equipment documentation and test the link after installation. Store and handle the module in a static-safe environment and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the RJ45 connector.
