CBO USFP Module USFP-GB-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45

The CBO USFP Module USFP-GB-BO Copper 1250 Mbit/s RJ-45 is a compact, hot-pluggable copper SFP-style transceiver designed to provide gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard twisted-pair copper cabling. It is intended for use in compatible network equipment to add or replace RJ-45 copper ports without modifying chassis or front panels. The module supports data transfer at 1250 Mbit/s and fits into SFP slots on switches, routers and media converters that accept copper SFP-style transceivers.

Advantages

This copper SFP-style module offers a small form factor and hot-swap capability, allowing network changes with minimal downtime. It uses a standard RJ-45 interface for easy integration with existing copper cabling infrastructure, reducing the need to rewire or use external adapters. The transceiver is suitable for short-range copper links, enabling flexible port expansion in dense networking environments while maintaining compatibility with common Ethernet wiring and connectors.

Suitable for

• Adding or replacing RJ-45 ports in switches and routers with SFP slots
• Media converters and compact networking devices that accept copper SFP modules
• Short-range copper Ethernet connections within racks and data closets

Key specifications

• Interface: RJ-45 copper connector
• Form factor: SFP-style, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s (suitable for gigabit Ethernet)
• Cable type: Unshielded or shielded twisted-pair copper cabling (Category 5e/6 recommended)
• Typical reach: Short-range copper links (dependent on cable category and environment)
• Power consumption: Low-power module suitable for common networking equipment

How to use

Install the module by inserting it into a compatible SFP slot on the network device until it seats securely; no tools are required. Connect a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the module and the remote device or patch panel. Ensure the host device supports copper SFP-style transceivers and configure network settings on the switch or router as needed. The module is hot-swappable, so it can be inserted or removed while the host device remains powered, but following standard change-control procedures is recommended.

Usage recommendations

Use Category 5e or Category 6 cabling for reliable gigabit performance and keep copper patch runs within recommended lengths for best signal integrity. Verify compatibility with the host device's supported SFP copper modules and update firmware if required by the vendor to ensure stable operation.
