Cradlepoint BF01-03005GB-GM Gigabit SFP Module
Overview
The BF01-03005GB-GM is a Gigabit SFP module engineered for Cradlepoint enterprise branch and fixed-site routing appliances. This module plugs into the SFP+ expansion slot on compatible Cradlepoint branch equipment, enabling Gigabit optical or copper connectivity in distributed network deployments where reliable long-distance links are required. The industrial temperature rating (0–45°C) ensures stable operation across varied office and field installations without thermal stress or performance drift.
Compatibility
The BF01-03005GB-GM integrates with Cradlepoint enterprise branch routers and fixed-site platforms equipped with an SFP+ expansion slot. Confirm your appliance model supports SFP+ module insertion before purchase. This module is designed for standard Gigabit SFP transceivers and works with both copper (RJ-45) and optical (LC/SC) Gigabit interfaces, depending on the transceiver paired with it. Typical deployment scenarios include WAN backhaul, branch-to-branch fiber links, and primary site connectivity where Gigabit throughput is needed alongside the router's native Ethernet ports.
Installation Notes
Insert the SFP module into the SFP+ slot with the connector facing the port opening. Ensure the module seats fully until it clicks; partial insertion will not establish a link. For optical transceivers, observe standard fiber handling practices: keep dust caps on unused connectors, avoid bending fiber beyond the manufacturer's bend-radius specification, and secure cables with appropriate management clips. The operating temperature range of 0–45°C means the module is not rated for unheated outdoor enclosures or direct sunlight in hot climates—mount in conditioned equipment racks or sheltered wall cabinets. No additional power is required; the module draws power from the host appliance.
