Modulo transceiver in rame BlueOptics N-SFP-TX-BO 1000 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics N-SFP-TX-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module that provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard twisted-pair copper cabling. Designed for 1000 Mbit/s operation, this compact module uses an RJ-45 interface and fits into SFP slots on compatible switches, routers and media converters. The transceiver is powered at 3.3 V and is housed in a durable metal casing with a silver finish. Weighing approximately 20 g and supporting link lengths up to 100 m, the module is suitable for short-range network segments that require a hot-pluggable, industry-standard SFP form factor.

Advantages

The module supports Gigabit speeds over copper with a standardized SFP form factor, enabling flexible port configurations and easy replacement or upgrades without changing the host device. Its RJ-45 interface allows direct connection to Ethernet copper cabling while the metal housing ensures mechanical robustness and heat dissipation. Low weight and compact dimensions make the transceiver suitable for dense equipment racks and space-constrained installations.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics N-SFP-TX-BO into a compatible SFP port on the network device while the device is powered according to the host manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines. Once inserted, connect a standard Cat5e or Cat6 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the module and to the remote device. The module negotiates link speed automatically up to 1000 Mbit/s; verify link status in the host device's management interface and confirm proper duplex and speed settings if manual configuration is required.

Recommendations

Use quality twisted-pair cabling (Cat5e or higher) for reliable Gigabit performance and keep cable runs within the specified 100 m limit. Ensure the host device supports copper SFP transceivers and consult equipment compatibility lists before deployment. Handle the transceiver by the housing and avoid touching the connector contacts; when not in use, protect the RJ-45 port with a dust cover to prevent contamination.
