Module émetteur-récepteur SFP BlueOptics SFP-GC-R-BO cuivre 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45

The BlueOptics SFP-GC-R-BO Copper SFP transceiver module is a compact RJ-45 copper interface module designed for data transfer up to 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a durable metal casing and powered by a 3.3 V input, this SFP fits standard SFP slots and delivers 1000BASE-T class Ethernet connectivity over twisted-pair cabling up to typical copper distances. The module is lightweight and compatible with devices that accept MRV SFP-GC-R compatible 1000BASE-T transceivers when the host hardware supports such modules.

Advantages

The module provides Gigabit-class copper connectivity in a small SFP form factor, enabling flexible port configuration and easy upgrades without replacing entire switches or routers. Its metal housing offers mechanical robustness and EMI protection while its low weight and standardized footprint simplify installation. Built to MSA-compliant dimensions and electrical characteristics, it supports digital diagnostics when the host device implements DDM/DOM functions for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, temperature and optical/electrical parameters.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or expanding switch and router ports to 1000BASE-T copper links
• Connecting servers, storage systems and access devices over Cat5e/Cat6 twisted-pair cabling
• Replacing or adding compatible MRV-type SFP modules in enterprise network equipment

Key specifications

• Interface type: RJ-45 copper
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s (1.25 Gbit/s)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Operating voltage: 3.3 V input
• Housing: metal enclosure, silver colour
• Weight: approx. 3 g
• Typical link distance: up to 100 m over appropriate twisted-pair cabling
• Protocol support: Ethernet and compatible high-speed transport protocols (1000BASE-T class)

How to use

Insert the SFP-GC-R-BO module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or network device while the host port is powered down or per the device manufacturer’s hot-swap guidance. Connect an RJ-45 twisted-pair cable to the module’s RJ-45 connector and ensure the remote link partner is configured for Gigabit Ethernet. Verify link and speed negotiation in the host device management interface. If the host supports digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM), enable or query the diagnostic registers to monitor operational parameters.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and proper cable management to ensure reliable Gigabit links. Confirm vendor compatibility for MRV SFP-GC-R compatible modules with your hardware and firmware version before deployment, and test the module in a non-critical port if vendor interoperability is uncertain.
