SFP transceiver module BlueOptics J8177D-BO Fiber optic RJ-45

The BlueOptics J8177D-BO Fiber optic SFP transceiver module with RJ-45 interface is a compact, silver-coloured network transceiver designed for use in standard SFP slots. It supports twisted-pair copper connections via an RJ-45 port and is intended for 1000BASE-T applications over distances up to 100 meters when used with appropriate cabling. The module is RoHS compliant, CE and FCC compatible, and sold individually. Weighing approximately 20 g, the transceiver follows MSA-compliant form factor and electrical specifications for wide interoperability.

Advantages

The module offers plug-and-play integration into compatible networking equipment and supports digital diagnostic monitoring functions where the host hardware implements DDM/DOM. Manufactured to MSA standards, the transceiver is intended to provide interoperable performance with major hardware platforms that accept compatible SFP RJ-45 1000BASE-T modules. Its compact SFP form factor and low weight make it suitable for high-density installations while meeting common regulatory and environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or replacing SFP RJ-45 1000BASE-T ports in switches and routers
• Connecting servers, storage devices and network appliances over twisted-pair copper up to 100 m
• Use in rack-mounted or high-density network environments requiring standard SFP modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: RJ-45 (copper, twisted pair)
• Standard: 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet over copper)
• Maximum reach over copper cable: up to 100 meters (category-dependent)
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable), MSA-compliant
• Colour: Silver
• Weight: approx. 0.02 kg
• Environmental and safety: RoHS compliant; meets CE and FCC requirements
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM supported if host hardware provides support

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics J8177D-BO transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or other network device while the host device is powered according to the vendor guidelines. Connect a standard RJ-45 patch cable to the module and to the remote device, ensuring the cable category and pinout meet 1000BASE-T requirements. Verify link status and speed through the host device management interface and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters through the host to monitor supply voltage, temperature and optical/electrical operating values.

Usage recommendations

Use certified Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a cabling for reliable gigabit links and keep copper cable runs within 100 meters. Confirm that the target hardware supports third-party or compatible SFP modules and DDM/DOM functionality if diagnostics are required. Handle the transceiver by its housing, avoid touching electrical contacts, and store unused modules with protective caps in a dry, dust-free environment.
