SFP copper transceiver CBO SFP-501A1GRJ45-BO 1 Gbps, RJ45, up to 100 m

CBO SFP-501A1GRJ45-BO is a copper SFP transceiver that supports 1 Gbps Ethernet over standard twisted-pair cabling. The module features an RJ45 connector and provides link distances up to 100 meters when used with Cat5e or Cat6 cables. It is hot-pluggable and intended for insertion into compatible SFP ports to provide a copper Ethernet interface for network equipment.

Advantages

This SFP copper transceiver offers straightforward integration into existing network equipment with a compact form factor and hot-pluggable convenience. It enables cost-effective short-range copper connectivity without the need to replace fiber infrastructure, and it is compatible with common Ethernet cabling standards. The RJ45 interface simplifies connections to switches, routers and servers and supports standard 1 Gbps link speeds for typical LAN and access deployments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches or routers to copper-based network segments up to 100 m
• Providing 1 Gbps uplinks in data centers and server racks where fiber ports can accept SFP modules
• Office network cabling based on Cat5e/Cat6 patch panels and wall outlets
• Temporary or permanent copper links between network devices without changing existing RJ45 infrastructure

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ45 (8P8C) for twisted-pair copper cabling
• Supported speed: 1 Gbps full-duplex Ethernet
• Maximum reach: up to 100 meters over Cat5e/Cat6 cables
• Form factor: SFP (hot-pluggable)
• Power consumption: typical low-power SFP module design suitable for switch ports
• Operating environment: designed for standard indoor networking deployments

How to use

Insert the SFP-501A1GRJ45-BO module into a compatible SFP slot on your switch, router or server. Ensure the host device supports copper SFP transceivers and that the firmware or vendor compatibility list permits third-party modules if applicable. Connect one end of a Cat5e or Cat6 patch cable to the RJ45 port on the transceiver and the other end to the corresponding endpoint. After insertion and cabling, verify link negotiation and speed settings on the host device and adjust port configuration as needed for duplex, speed or VLAN tagging.

Usage recommendations

Use certified Cat5e or Cat6 cables in good condition for reliable 1 Gbps links, keep cable runs within the 100 m limit, and confirm compatibility with your network equipment to ensure correct detection and operation.
