Cradlepoint TAA-BF05-0300C7C-GN SFP Module
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-BF05-0300C7C-GN is a gigabit SFP module purpose-built for branch office and fixed-site deployments where federal procurement compliance is required. This module plugs into the SFP+ expansion slot on Cradlepoint industrial routers, delivering managed fiber or copper uplink connectivity without adding external equipment. TAA compliance means it meets Buy American and federal sector purchasing rules — a hard requirement for government agencies, DoD integrators, and regulated utility networks. Operating temperature range of 0–45°C keeps the module functional in outdoor equipment shelters and uninsulated branch cabinets.
Compatibility
This SFP module is designed for Cradlepoint branch router platforms with SFP+ expansion capability — specifically the E300-C7C and related industrial branch models listed in the TAA-eligible product families. The gigabit interface supports both copper and fiber uplinks depending on SFP transceiver type (transceiver sold separately). Install into the designated SFP+ slot; no additional configuration beyond standard port management is required once physically seated.
Installation Notes
SFP modules insert vertically into the SFP+ slot until the retention clip engages — no tools required. Verify the module is fully seated before applying uplink cabling. Operating temperature range of 0–45°C (32–113°F) means this module is suitable for outdoor or unheated shelters but should not be installed in environments exceeding 45°C without active cooling. The industrial plastic enclosure is not PoE-powered; the module draws power from the host router's SFP slot directly.
