Cradlepoint SP-BF03-03005GB-GM SFP Gigabit Module
Overview
The SP-BF03-03005GB-GM is a Gigabit SFP transceiver module designed for Cradlepoint branch and fixed-site routing appliances. Deploy this module when you need to add optical fiber connectivity to an SFP+ slot on a supported Cradlepoint platform — typical use cases include extending branch connectivity over single-mode or multimode fiber runs where copper distance or EMI becomes a constraint, or integrating into existing fiber-based network infrastructure at remote sites.
Compatibility
This SFP module is engineered for Cradlepoint branch appliances with available SFP+ ports. Confirm your specific Cradlepoint model supports SFP-type transceivers before ordering — compatibility varies by platform and firmware revision. The module operates across industrial temperature ranges (0°C to 45°C / 32°F to 113°F), suitable for field deployments in equipment rooms, outdoor enclosures, and vehicle-mounted installations where thermal stability is critical to availability.
Installation Notes
Insert the module into an available SFP+ slot on your Cradlepoint appliance until it clicks into the cage. No additional power is required — SFP modules draw power from the host port itself. Connect your fiber optic cable to the LC connector on the module. Verify that the far-end optics match your fiber type (single-mode or multimode, as appropriate for your cable plant). Allow a brief warm-up period after initial connection to stabilize link LED status.
