Transceiver CBO SF1G-TX Copper Wire 1Gbps — CBO SF1G-TX-BO

CBO SF1G-TX-BO is a 1 Gbps copper transceiver module designed to provide a single-port Gigabit Ethernet interface over standard twisted-pair copper cabling. The module fits SFP slots and enables straightforward plug-and-play connectivity for switches, routers, media converters and other networking equipment that accept compatible SFP copper modules. It is intended for short-reach links such as access ports, uplinks and server connections inside data centers and office networks.

Advantages

The transceiver delivers a reliable 1 Gbit/s copper connection with low power consumption and hot-pluggable convenience. It supports standard Ethernet signaling over Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, enabling fast deployment without additional configuration. Compact SFP form factor saves space in network chassis and allows flexible use across different devices that provide SFP ports.

Suitable for

• Short-reach Ethernet uplinks between switches
• Server or storage system connections to access switches
• Media converters and industrial switches with SFP copper ports
• Office network links and patch panel connections

Key specifications

• Interface: single-port 1 Gbit/s Ethernet over copper
• Form factor: SFP (small form-factor pluggable)
• Media type: twisted-pair copper (100/1000BASE-T)
• Cable compatibility: Cat5e, Cat6 (for Gigabit performance)
• Reach: typical short-reach links over copper cabling (up to standard Gigabit copper distances)
• Operational environment: suitable for data center and office indoor use
• Power: low power consumption in line with SFP copper modules

How to use

Insert the SFP copper transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or media converter until it clicks into place, then connect the RJ-45 connector of your copper cable to the transceiver. The device typically negotiates link speed and duplex automatically with the connected equipment. Ensure the host device supports SFP copper modules and that cabling meets Cat5e/Cat6 standards for Gigabit operation. If necessary, check device documentation for any vendor compatibility settings and enable the port in the network equipment's management interface.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 patch cables and minimize excessive cable length and interference sources. Verify compatibility with the host device firmware and keep firmware updated where vendor guidance suggests. Handle the transceiver by its housing and avoid touching electrical contacts; store unused modules in protective packaging to prevent dust and mechanical damage.
