Módulo transceptor SFP BlueOptics BO08E88S1-BO cobre 2500 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics BO08E88S1-BO is a Copper SFP transceiver module that provides 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over standard copper cabling. Designed for compact networking equipment, the module supports a maximum data transfer rate of 2500 Mbit/s and reliable short-range links up to 100 m. It operates from a 3.3 V input and is specified with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,000,000 hours, offering a lightweight (20 g) silver-coloured solution for network interfaces and media conversion applications.

Advantages

The SFP form factor enables hot-pluggable insertion into compatible switches, routers and media converters, reducing downtime during upgrades or maintenance. Support for 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet provides higher bandwidth than 1 Gbit/s ports while maintaining backward compatibility with copper infrastructure. The module's compact size and low weight make it suitable for dense equipment racks and space-constrained installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure the host device supports 2.5 Gigabit SFP copper transceivers and that the firmware is up to date. With the host powered off or following the manufacturer's hot-swap procedure, insert the BlueOptics BO08E88S1-BO into an available SFP cage until it latches. Connect a suitable copper patch cable to the module's RJ-45 interface and to the corresponding port on the network device. Verify link status and speed via the host device's management interface and perform any required configuration such as speed/duplex settings or VLAN assignment.

Recommendations

Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for reliable 2.5 Gbit/s performance up to 100 m and avoid running cables near strong electromagnetic interference sources. For mixed-speed deployments, check device compatibility and configure port settings to match network design. Follow the host equipment manufacturer's guidance for hot-plug handling and firmware compatibility to ensure stable operation.
