SFP copper transceiver CBO SFP-1000BaseT 1000 Mbps, 100 m reach, 1250 Mbps line rate

CBO SFP-1000BaseT is a copper SFP transceiver module designed for Gigabit Ethernet over standard twisted-pair cabling. It delivers 1000 Mbps data throughput with a 1250 Mbps line rate and supports up to 100 m reach on Category 5e/6 cabling. The module provides hot-swappable, plug-and-play connectivity for switches, routers and media converters, enabling copper uplinks or short-distance links without requiring chassis downtime.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a compact SFP form factor suitable for high-density network equipment, supporting reliable Gigabit connectivity over existing copper infrastructure. Its plug-and-play operation simplifies installation and replacement, and the module's compatibility with common network devices reduces the need for specialized cabling. The 100 m reach covers typical rack-to-rack and access-level connections, while the 1250 Mbps line rate ensures protocol-compliant signal timing for Gigabit Ethernet.

Suitable for

• Copper uplinks between switches in data closets and wiring cabinets
• Short-distance connections to routers and media converters
• Network upgrades where fiber is not available or cost-effective
• High-density switch ports requiring hot-swappable modules

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP (1.25 Gbps PHY interface)
• Data rate: 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Line rate: 1250 Mbps
• Maximum reach: 100 m over twisted-pair copper cabling (Cat5e/6)
• Media: 100-ohm balanced twisted-pair copper
• Connector: RJ-45 (integrated in SFP module)
• Form factor: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), hot-swappable

How to use

Insert the SFP copper transceiver into an SFP slot on a compatible switch, router or media converter and connect standard Ethernet twisted-pair cable to the RJ-45 port. The module supports hot-swapping; power cycling the host is not required for installation or removal. Verify link speed and duplex settings on the host device if needed and ensure cabling meets Category 5e/6 standards for stable Gigabit operation. Monitor link LEDs or device management interfaces to confirm a successful connection.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables and keep cable runs within the 100 m limit. Avoid exposing the module to extreme temperatures or mechanical stress during insertion and removal, and consult the host device compatibility list before deployment to ensure full interoperability.
