Copper SFP Transceiver BlueOptics CGI 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics CGI Copper SFP Transceiver BlueOptics CGI 1250 Mbit/s is a small form-factor pluggable module for SFP interfaces that delivers copper connectivity for network devices. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s and is intended for simple, reliable short-reach copper links in switches, routers or media converters that accept SFP modules. The module provides a standardized electrical interface and plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that supports SFP copper transceivers.

Advantages

This copper SFP transceiver offers straightforward installation and removes the need for separate patch cables by providing an integrated copper interface in SFP slots. With support for up to 1250 Mbit/s, the module is suitable for connecting standard Ethernet and serial-like optical replacement links where copper is preferred. BlueOptics design focuses on adherence to SFP form-factor specifications to ensure physical compatibility and predictable electrical behaviour across compatible network hardware.

Suitable for

• Adding copper ports to switches and routers with SFP slots
• Short-reach uplinks and inter-switch connections over copper
• Media converters and network appliances requiring SFP copper modules
• Temporary or permanent replacement of optical SFPs where copper cabling is available

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Connector medium: copper (RJ-45 compatible electrical interface)
• Form factor: SFP module compliant with industry dimensions

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics CGI Copper SFP transceiver into an empty SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter while the device is powered down or hot-swappable according to the host device documentation. Once seated, connect the copper network cable to the transceiver's electrical interface. Configure the host device port settings (speed, duplex, auto-negotiation) as required; many systems will recognize the module and apply default SFP port parameters automatically. Monitor link LEDs or device software to verify an active connection at the expected data rate.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded twisted-pair copper cables of appropriate category for the desired distance and environment, and follow the host equipment guidance for supported cable lengths and port configuration. Verify compatibility with your specific hardware model and firmware when deploying SFP modules; consult product documentation if uncertain about hot-swapping capability or vendor locking restrictions.
