Copper SFP Transceiver BlueOptics 37973045-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 37973045-BO is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for 1250 Mbit/s serial data links in standard SFP slots. It offers a compact SFP form factor and a metal housing in silver colour, intended for use in switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP copper modules. Built to meet CE, FCC and RoHS requirements, the module is specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours to support continuous network operation and predictable maintenance planning.

Advantages

This SFP copper transceiver provides a straightforward, hot-pluggable interface for short-range Ethernet connections without the need for fibre optics. The compact SFP form factor saves space in densely populated equipment bays and allows flexible port configuration. Compliance with common regulatory standards ensures compatibility with many network installations while the stated MTBF supports long-term service life and reduced replacement frequency.

Suitable for

• Short-reach Ethernet connections over copper cabling
• Insertion into SFP ports on switches, routers and media converters
• Upgrading or replacing existing SFP copper transceivers
• Server room and enterprise network patch panels requiring modular transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
• Housing colour: Silver, metal enclosure
• Weight: 0.02 kg
• Regulatory compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS
• Reliability: MTBF 1,000,000 hours

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 37973045-BO by inserting the module into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it latches. Connect the copper Ethernet cable to the module's RJ connector or appropriate copper interface on the module (refer to equipment documentation for exact connector type). The device should detect the module automatically; confirm link status and speed in the host device's management interface. Handle the module by the housing and avoid touching electrical contacts. Remove protective caps before insertion and re-install caps when the module is not in use.

Usage recommendations

Use this transceiver in supported equipment and cabling environments; verify host device compatibility with copper SFP modules and configure link settings if necessary. For reliable operation, follow manufacturer guidelines for insertion/removal, ESD precautions and environmental limits (temperature, humidity). Monitor link status after installation and plan spare units based on MTBF and operational criticality.
